Re: Got our helmet today-on our way to correcting brachycephaly

[Guest guest]

Hi Jill. 95% is high too, I guess, but just think has been in

his band for 8 weeks and is still worse than what is starting

at. So she may not need a 2nd band. They told me that was off

the charts being he started at 101%. I guess the chart goes up to

100%. I am not sure about a way to predict whether or not they will

need a 2nd band. I am sure a clinician can tell you what they think.

They have seen many babies and they probably know from experience

what the future may hold. One of our clinicians told us that babies

that start as bad as usually do get 2 bands. We've seen

improvement with 1, but since doesn't mind the band we figure

we;ll get another one for more improvement. We still dont know if

insurance will cover either of them, but I didnt make a diffence on

our decision. We may have a credit card bill to pay, but at least

will have a rounder head!
