Guest guest Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Hi everyone: Monday was Aiden's first appointment with DOC in the West Chicago Suburb of Oakbrook Terrace. They are very professional group, what a difference from our previous encounters locally. I was berating myself for not going up there sooner; the Technician assured me with " your are here now " . This will be Aiden's 3rd helmet, helmet #1 did o.k., #2 did absolutely nothing for him because of the bad fit, so now at 17 months (16 adjusted by his original due date) he is receiving the DOC band (Starband previously). Since we have a 6 hour drive and have to spend the night in Chicago, the staff suggested that we contact " Angelflight " . They were absolutely prompt in getting back to us, so hopefully a pilot will be found to take us up there on the 14th to get his new hat. So, at this point, that is the main point of my post: anyone with financial need should qualify for Angelflight. There are of course a lot of " ifs " : they can't fly if the weather is bad, etc. so an alternate plan has to always be in place. Hello to everyone, I have learned sooo much out of these posts, Heidrun Aiden's proud grandma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Hi Heidrun- I'm so glad you feel good about this third go at the helmet. CT is really great. We go to Charlotte for my son, who also started right at 17 months old, and we started seeing changes in the first week (much more minimal than some younger babies would see, but I honestly wasn't expecting to see ANY change for weeks because of his age, so was thrilled when we saw one spot pop out after one week). So I think you're in really good hands there. And it's great that you'll be able to benefit from Angelflight. I'm sure that's going to be a huge help. Please keep us posted on Aiden's progress.
