Helmet Casting No Big Deal

[Guest guest]

My son was casted today for his molding helmet and it was no big

deal. I thought I'd let those of you who will be going through this

soon that it wasn't as bad as I expected. They placed 2 knit caps

over his head with the face cut out. He kind of looked like

Batman. And then they used fiberglass casting material to wrap his

head. He didn't like the casting part, but it was over in 3-4

minutes.

They let me hold my son on my lap during the whole process and I

sang in his ear which I think helped.

Anyways, stop worrying about the casting (if you are like I was for

the last 2 weeks) since it really is no big deal!

Yeah! The hard part is over and it sounds like it wasn't that hard for you. Thanks for the positive post. It really does help to alleviate anxieties.

Thanks,

Thank you very much for posting this... I think it will help the

ones that are about to go through this. I agree with you in that

it's not a big deal.

I'm glad to hear the casting appointment went well. It really isn't

that bad, and the whole process is over before you know it. Thanks

for sharing your stroy. I'm sure it will help alleviate some fears

for those who haven't been casted yet.
