Guest guest Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 McKenna was fitted for her helmet 2 weeks ago today. They told me it would take 7-10 days to get the helmet in. The orthotist was supposed to put a rush order in on it and said it would be here in 7 days. I've called 4 times this week and finally today they told me " Yes, her helmet is here. Its been here for a couple days. We can't get her in to be fitted until Monday at 4pm because we're so shorthanded right now. " Ok, what was the point of putting a rush on it? I'm worried that she's getting too old. She'll be 10 months old on the 25th and her therapist wanted her in it before she was 9.5 months old. I'm so angry. I've been calling and calling because I wanted her in it ASAP. Now we have a weekend wasted that she could be wearing it. I think I'm also frustrated because I don't know how she'll react, how I'll react, or how others will react to her. I just want to get on with it and then I can stop stressing about it so much. Is 10 months too old to have the helmet put on? Will it even help her before her head hardens? Thanks, Tami and McKenna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
