Guest guest Posted October 4, 2002 Report Share Posted October 4, 2002 Francine: Oh I'm so happy to hear finally has a good fitting band! That's great to hear that the new orthotist is more knowledgable, a good ortho + a good fitting band = a rounder head!!! It might take a little longer being is 11 mos old, but it'll definitley get there! Keep us posted - good luck!!!! Debbie Abby's mom DOCGrad MI > Just wanted to quickly update the group on 's helmet.

Francine, You don't know how happy I am to read this- that's why this Board is so great to bounce things off of people going through the same things, without our "truthful" parenting experiences, many people might be led down the same road with an unexperienced orthotist, miss valuable treatment time, and only have regret to show for all their headache- so glad you will not be one of those people!!!! I am so happy to hear that its a success, please continue to update us with continuing good news for ! ' Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2002 Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 Jen: Glad is doing well in his new helmet The sweating is pretty bad for the first wk or 2, but after his body temp adjusts the sweat will diminish. In the mean time, definitely dress him a little cooler. You'll get used to it too, I had a hard time seeing Abby in her band for the first week, but after that it was no big deal. Then I thought she looked goofy w/o the band on! Good luck at the hearing test next week, please let us know how that goes.
