Guest guest Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 We have an appt. the 30th with our plastic surgeon to see if he wants to start Connor's helmet therapy. I don't know what options he'll give us for helmets/bands, but I thought I'd try to be prepared ahead of time. There isn't a CT location close to us, but there are a couple within 4-5 hours (Kansas City or Chicago area). After the inital fitting with CT, how often would trips have to be made for adjustments? I work full time and basically don't have any sick time built up due to all the PT, etc. appointments we've had so far. I'm just trying to figure out whether it would be a doable option for us.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Hi i am in the kc area. Depending on age and growth Connor would probably need to go in every 2 weeks. Maybe more at first to get the fit just right. I am not sure if they have Staurday appointments or not. If so maybe that would be an option for you. We are going to St louis on Thursday for part of Spring Break. Angie and Jenna > We have an appt. the 30th with our plastic surgeon to see if he wants > to start Connor's helmet therapy.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Hi! We are getting the doc band for my son here in the chicago area (Oakbrook Terrace). This CT does not have Saturday hours. My son is 6 months old and he will have to visit the clinic every 2 weeks for at least 3 months. I think its every one week for younger babies. ================================================== > > We have an appt. the 30th with our plastic surgeon to see if he wants > > to start Connor's helmet therapy.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Hi, Welcome to the group. How often a band gets adjusted has to do with the age of the baby. Younger babies go every week, older babies go bi- weekly. How old is your baby? > We have an appt. the 30th with our plastic surgeon to see if he wants > to start Connor's helmet therapy.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 HI , Younger babies have to go every week, while older babies go every 2 weeks. I am not sure what the age is for the switch between 1 vs. 2 weeks. Our CT office in Paramus, NJ did not have Saturday hours, unfortunately. Good Luck and I hope you work out all the logistics to be able to go wherever you want to go. and (DOCgrad 13-Feb-04/10-14mos./PA) <andileigh@...> wrote: We have an appt. the 30th with our plastic surgeon to see if he wantsto start Connor's helmet therapy.
