Re: Too late to start at 15-16 months?

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Th orthotic centre that was referred to us fabricate different types

of orthotic devices, and the cranial helmet is one of them, hence the

no-brand status:

Regarding the time, what i meant was i will be staying for a month and

come back to Singapore since i have to keep my job.. but my wife and

daughter will stay in the US until the treatment is done. So we're

hoping it wouldn't be too long.

The only reason i mentioned about the specialist visit is because the

centre said they don't do the follow-ups nor decide for the

adjustments unless requested by the consulting doc/specialist.

I guess i'll have to clear this up with them as well.

When you say improvement, do you now see a noticeable change in your

child's head shape? Anypics in the gallery?

bests,

Chris
