How long is long enough?, formally -Getting our mold done Tuesday

January 6, 2008

Thank you for the tips Tammy! It feels good to know we are not

alone. How old is ? How severe was his plagio? 9 weeks

sounds nice, they have told me probably 3-6 months. Does that sound

like a really long time to anyone else or is it just dependent on

the kid and the severity I guess? Is there an average time? Aubrey

is 6 months old and her plastic surgeon said she was a 7 on a scale

of 1-10, so I feel like if we had done this sooner she would not

have had to wear it as long and that makes me a little sad. Her ped

wanted me to try repositioning and see if we could correct the

flatness on our own though. I feel a little guilty for either not

doing a good enough job or not pushing to get a helmet sooner. Does

anyone else on here live anywhere near the St. Louis, MO area? Just

wondering about the O & P place we are going to now that I have read

some of the stories about some of the places you all have been (good

and bad).
