Re: Re: Bad appointment today!

[Guest guest]

I got the call today from CT that they wasnt my little one to come back in for a DSI to have a new helmet made. They want to evaluate her to make sure her neck muscles aren't weak as well. I don't know what that would have to do with anything but onward we go. What would they do for that? She never had tort and being that her case was such a seemingly mild one to begin with, it was even hard to notice a flat spot. Her head just looked really wide. She never seemed to favor one side over the other and actually sleeps on the non-flat side as her preference. It scares me that nobody has dealt with this before or they just haven't replied to my post yet! She can't be the only case!

Re: Bad appointment today!

We are getting a DOC band for our daughter and was warned by our pediatrician that that is one of the unfortunate risks. Makes me nervous!

> Ok, 7 month old daughter in band for 6 weeks now went for DOC band check and adjustment. When checking her head I asked if it was just me or did her greatest point of protrusion at the back of her head actually seem off centered and more on her previously flat side. Overcorrection? After checking and rechecking, and having another person check, consensus.....Yes, protrusion is now on the previously flat side and there is an indentation at the hold position. Now what??? They took repeat pictures to show the headquarters people and see what they want to do. We left her band there today and don't know what happens next. New band? Done all together? send it to headquarters for major adjustment/assessment? Repeat DSI to be sure of problem? I just don't know what now. She was such a borderline case to begin with. I thought these were made so that even if all the foam on the previously flat side were shaved, it still didn't have enough room to overcorrect. I had thoug hts previously of this being a problem with my son but after his appointment I was assured it was just my eyes doing tricks on me because he had such a bad flat spot I wasn't used to seeing it normal and rounded. This time, my concerns were actually RIGHT ON! I hate when I am right. Has anybody heard of this and knows what the next step is? Happy to know she is without the band but hope I didn't screw her head up now worse that it would have been if I had just left well enough alone.
