Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 There is a clinic in Japan that does STARbands. Would going there be an option for your son? Ai-Met Company, Inc.

Molly California Nicolas, 2, tort & plagio, STARband 4/24/06-9/12/06, Graduate! , 4.75 , 8 From: Plagiocephaly [mailto:Plagiocephaly ] On Behalf Of Ariel Sent: 19 January 2008 03:14 Plagiocephaly Subject: [sPAM] Hi there! Hello! My name is Ariel and I am a proud mommy to a 12 month old with positional plagiocephly named Kayden! I live in Okinawa, Japan with my husband who is active duty military. Kayden had congenital torticollis which caused his plagio. Thankfully the tort is no longer present thanks to pt, but his headshape has not changed. Right now we are going through the process of getting treatment for Kayden. Tricare, our military medical insurance provider, will not cover the cost of bands or helmets. Kayden's deveolpmental pedi is sending pictures of his head to surgeons in Hawaii to see if we should have a consultation. Helmets/bands are pretty much a no-go for us because we are all the way over here. If we were in the states we would probably opt for the band, but since we would not be able to all of the follow up appointments required for the band, it looks like it's not an option. The thought of surgery really frightens me. I was wondering if there is anyone here who's child has had it? Well, it's nice to meet you all!
