Re: Help epositioning or Helmet ?

January 28, 2003

,

I am just getting a band for my DD. She too had mild plagio. We had

great results in the beginning but at about 5 months it stop. She

looks great if you talk to the doctors but it is still there and I

can easily see it.

I am not sure where you are located, There is a Neurosurgen in Chgo.

Dr. Frim. You could email him with questions. { Frim

email address [dfrim@...]} My DD, is now

seeing him, is 10 months and he would have like me to have her

banded before 6 months. He says the earlier the better.

I would say it if you are looking for complete and full correction

you should get your little guy, (Dylan Right?) banded now. Some

insurance companies can take as long as 45 day for pre-approval. If

your company requires pre-approval, start the process now.

Best of Luck
