Re: Jennicah 3 weeks since casting

[Guest guest]

We are still awaiting Jennicah's Hanger helmet. It has been 3 and a half weeks since casting. The orthotist does not seem to be worried about it. He was out of town last week. I am hoping the fitting goes well. It should be either today or tomorrow. I am sure I will have many questions as soon as it is on. and Jennicah in Washington

3 1/2 weeks seems like to long between the casting and fitting. . Is the ortho also the manager there? I would let them know from the start of all your concerns. Maybe you could print out some pictures of other babies in Hanger bands to take with you. Please let us know how it goes.

Umm...I hate to be the bearer of bad news here, but 3.5 weeks is TOO

long to go between casting and fitting. These babies are growing at

a rapid rate and the headshape and size can/do change dramatically

in 3.5 weeks. I would hate for Jennicah to have to go through

another casting and wait time for another band.

Hi ,

I just wanted to echo Dustie's concerns. How old is Jennicah? Most

places do the fittings no longer than 2 weeks after the casting and

on younger babies they try to do it even sooner. If you want to

take your chances and don't want to ask for a recast please be very

careful about doing frequent skin checks. Please let us know what

happens.

Hi ,

My son went 2 and a half weeks between his scan and the fitting, and

that was about as long as I would ever recommend. It is possible

that Jennicah's head has not grown in that time frame, but it

certainly is not the norm. With a time frame this long between the

two, it will certainly be up to the orthotist to ensure that the band

is a good fit. Please be careful. A bad fitting band can be worse

than no band at all.
