[Guest guest]

Thank you all for your replies to my questions. We found a great OT

with prior CT experience who works at the Miami Children's Hospital

(Louise..I got a lot of referrals saying she is great). She has 10

years experience with head bands (she used to work for CT with the DOC

bands but now works with Star Bands) so I could not ask for anyone

better outside CT Miami. They do the Scan at the hospital to capture

the baby's head shape and should be wearing his helmet by mid-

July (I hope)...I'ts a little bit of a compromise as I am certain that

DOC bands work great but as we all know...one of the most crucial

success factors is the OT. My husband is a Laser engineer so he thinks

this system is quite accurate and we won't put thru the

casting...since he was in the NICU for 3 days and had to be placed

under the UV lights with a band over his eyes...ever since he cannot

stand ANYTHING over his eyes (even wearing the helmet may be an

issue)...so we feel this is a good option.

Good luck and we'll be taking/posting more documental photos. It's

hard to see the plagio in the photos I posted (he was 2 1/2 weeks) but

I can see a little of it and his neck always turning to the right...I

truly wish someone had warned me about this...don't you hate it to

know this could have been prevented to a degree?

Thanks

plagio going for a ScanLaser Star Band next week!)
