Hello all,

I am new to being a group member anywhere. Recent events in my RA

have led me to realize that I need support from people who know this

illness, and who have some understanding of it.

Please bear with me in my discovery of this group process, because I

truly have no idea how this works. I imagine that in time I will

get a handle on " doing it right "

Thanks much.

Hello ,

in the short time that I have been a member here, it

really feels good. I an a memebr of an oline/real

life spiritual community and it's okay. Here,

however, ther seems to be a genuine connection

happening, and i like that.

Thanks for your warm welcome!

Let us know how it goes!!!

Hi, I'm new here

My son is 4 months and 1 week old and is getting his helmet tomorrow.

He has moderate-severe brachiocephaly. Does anyone else's child have

brachiocephaly? If so, how long did they have to wear the helmet? They

told us it takes longer to correct than the other types of

plagiocephaly. I really don't know what to expect about any of this.

Do they usually tolerate the helmets pretty well? I'm worried it will

annoy him and be uncomfortable.

Email and AIM finally together. You've gotta check out free AOL Mail!

My son has mild/moderate brachy now. He used to have moderate/severe

at the age of your son, but it kind of got slightly corrected on its

own to mild/moderate by his 9th month. He just started wearing a band

a month ago, and so far we have not had any results, but he is older

(he's now 16 months old), so it will take him much longer. I thought

being older than others who get banded for the first time, he would

get more annoyed with having to wear it, especially since he's always

hated any kind of hats and caps, but he actually liked his helmet very

much, and only for a couple of days tried to get it off when he was

getting hot. It literally took him a few days to get used to it, and

it was so much better than I had imagined!

Your baby will be fine and will adjust very quickly. The younger they

are, the easier. Don't worry and good luck.

Hi! My daughter is 7 months and has brachy. She has been in her band one week and we have already seen some improvement. My daugghter adjusted wonderfully with wearing the band. I think we as moms have more anxiety over it. Plus, your son is very young. You are getting him banded at a great time.

In regards to brachy taking longer, I asked my orthotist that today. He said that really it all depends on the child and their growth spurts. In our case, we are only dealing with the flatness in the back of the head (brachy). She does not have tort or any ear alignment concerns or bossing in the frontal area. She just has a mild case of brachy. I was told it could be corrected in 2-3 months.

Hope this helps ease your mind a bit. Best of luck!
