Anyone have exp with CRANIAL TECH?

[Guest guest]

I am the mother to triplets (2 of which need cranial remolding). We are in MS

and I quickly found out not many kids in MS get the remolding helmets b/c there

is NOBODY around here that really has much expierence with them. Upon the advise

of my Ped, he sent me to a " NEW " place in town that has a guy with cranial

helmet exp. Make a long story short, we are 2 months into it and getting

nowhere. I have been back in twice a week telling them the helmets do not fit.

They shift, pinch ears, twist, come down on eyebrow. Finally I told them I was

going for a second opinion since they kept telling me the helmet fit and I would

just need to " reposition " it from time to time. After hearing I would go

somewhere else they were quick to tell me they were just going to make a new

helmet. I was furious. I left the helmets there and told them I would call them

back when I thought about things.

Now, to present day. The closet places to me with any exp with helmets would be

Children's Hospital in New Orleans or the Dallas Cranial Tech. I have spoken

with the people at Cranial and I am very impressed. I would like to know if you

think it is worth the while to go that far. They are 6 hours away (and I will

have 3 babies with me). If New Orleans would be just as good, it would be so

much easier to go there. Ultimately, I need to do the best thing and I will deal

with the stress of getting there.

Also, did they cast or digitally imagine in the fitting process. My place did

the cast. Everyone else I talk with says they don't cast. I am just trying to

figure out what to do next!
