Re: New to the group/pamadams

[Guest guest]

Hi - welcome to our group!

We're glad to have you with us as well. I'm SO happy to hear your

daughter actually laughed during her casting?!!! That's terrific. She

must be one happy little girl.

I am glad you got some improvement with repositioning alone, that'll

mean less time in her helmet! That's great your ins. will cover this

helmet & you've heard good things about it! Where abouts do you

live?

Welcome again....please let us know when the helmet is in & how you

ALL adjust to it. Keep us updated.

Hello and welcome! I'm glad you have joined our group.

My daughter wore a locally made helmet also. It only cost $700 and we got very

good results. You hear a whole lot about bands in this group and they are really

great, but locally made helmets can work really well too when they are made by

experienced and skilled orthotists - can you can't beat the cost! :-)

I'm glad to hear that you made some progress with repositioning. That's

excellent. The helmet should take care of the rest of the problem! It's great

that your daughter was so happy and carefree during the casting - she should

have no problem at all adjusting to the helmet. Let us know when she is

scheduled to go in for the fitting.

I live in Utah and we have a great childrens hospital here. We will be getting her helmet sometime next week. I'm so glad I found this board. It is helpful to have people that understand what your going through.
