Re: Jeffry out of 1st helmet - to Heidi

[Guest guest]

Hi Heidi:

I am interested too, in how the helmet works. It sounds like they

are doing a great job at Mayo as your gets a whole new helmet

every month. I am sure that with that kind of attention he will have

the roundest head in Minnesota!! LOL

Do you have any photos of 's head before the helmet? If so,

it would be great to scan them too. I live in Minnesota and as

parents ask me about our DOC band, the only info I have for them is

to go to Madison, WI, which is really a trek. How wonderful if the

helmet at Mayo works really well, so at least there will be a good

option here in the state. The CranioCap at Gillette Children's in

St. didn't work very well for us, so I don't recommend it to

anyone that asks me, and it will be great to be able to say " You can

go to Madison, WI for the DOC band OR Rochester for the Mayo helmet " ,

and know a little bit about both.

Great news, and great job. I will look for your info as you post it.

Kind regards,

, Rhiannon's mom
