Hi

That's great news that you already are going to see a Physical

Therapist- tort is one of those things that has to be treated over

months or even longer- but the PT will make a huge difference- many

parents have been where you are today.

Plus DOC are experts in bands so you will get good treatment and

results there too. So you can rest easy that you have got good

treatment in time and hopefully in a year or less all this will be

behind you. I find it hard to remember what it was like before and

during my daughter's time in the helmet- she looks so great and we

just never think about it now. I only ever think about it when I

come on the boards to share our experiences as I wish I had known of

this when I started out- I just felt so alone- once I found this

community I felt an awful lot better!

Let us know how the fitting goes- at 6 months I'm sure will

adjust well and you can get on with this.

Take care
