Guest guest Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Hi everyone ! We're just back from our trip for the fitting and Baptiste has a beautiful helmet, blue with little stars, planets, rockets… He's my little astronaut ! To make a long story short, let's say that he's adjusting to it pretty well : he cries when he sees it, throws it away when he can, cries when he has to put it on, but then strangely enough, he seems to forget that he has something funny on his head and carries on just as usual…. It's all for the best anyway. Those four days were exhausting, not so much because of the fitting which went quite well (except the long waiting hours) but because Baptiste was so disturbed by not being home that he could hardly sleep at night, then he got a big cold with high fever at night, so these were tiresome days. But anyway I'm so glad we finally did it that it doesn't matter anymore now that it's over. We'll see how Baptiste gets on with it over the next few weeks… All the parents I met were in the same situation as me : nobody had warned them about plagio and it's only through personal research that they learned about the helmet. It's quite infuriating that it's up to us parents to find solutions on our own that doctors should be giving us, I mean it's their job ! Anyway, it's no time and no use to be angry, so I'll just thank you all for the information and support I got through this group, it's really great.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Hi, Thanks for the update on Baptiste. Sounds like he's adjusting well overall. Lots of parents feel like you as far as being angry over having to learn about helmets all on your own. Try channeling your anger into helping to educate others about plagio. In our files section you can see some handouts parents created (my daughter Hannah's included) to hand out to others. Whle your son is in his band is the best time to do this because you'll get the most questions about it. You can distribute them to anywhere you think there might be a big population of babies, parents, or moms to be, as well as pediatric offices, maternity sections of hospitals, etc. Please keep us posted on his progress. , mom to Hannah, DOCgrad Cape Cod, Ma --- In Plagiocephaly , " ascouton " <ascouton@y...> wrote: > > Hi everyone ! > > We're just back from our trip for the fitting and Baptiste has a > beautiful helmet, blue with little stars, planets, rockets… He's my > little astronaut ! > > To make a long story short, let's say that he's adjusting to it > pretty well : he cries when he sees it, throws it away when he can, > cries when he has to put it on, but then strangely enough, he seems > to forget that he has something funny on his head and carries on just > as usual….
