I've been a memeber for a month or two, and have just been reading what everyone has to say.. now I think its time for me to chime it.... here's my situation... I had noticed at birth 's head shape. I expressed my concern at all his well baby check ups and finally, around November/December (6 months), we were able to see someone from the Cranial Facial Dept. At the time, I was with a PPO and was going to have to pay 20% When i got pregnant, we didnt have insurance, and about 3 months before I had , I was offered benefits through my job. I picked the PPO over our HMO (Kaiser) so I could stay with the doctor I had been seeing for my whole pregnancy. I filed paperwork to change to a HMO in January. So... My Cranial Facial appt went good. the doc said he thought he should get a helmet.. and that he would try to get the ball rolling before the new year hit. They would be calling me for an appt... January came and I heard nothing, so I made an appointment with a Ped with Kaiser. They got me in within a few days and referred me to a specialist. Their cranial team was pretty far, but I was told that they use the hospital that I had started everything with, whew!! That was good news since we had already spoke to someone there and took xrays... ok, this is getting long... I got to see the specialist and they said that they didnt think he needed a helmet! That he looked more like a patient that had just finished helmet therapy! Now, I will say that he started rolling over and sleeping on his belly right after I met with the first specialist, and maybe i dont see a big difference bc im with him everyday... but i cant help but think that it has something to do with $$$ when i had to pay for a portion of it, we definitely needed it.. but when it should have all been paid for, it was no longer an issue. has anyone gone through this?? I posted some pics of him in the Photo Album " " Thanks in advance everyone!! ~*~~*~ For more plagio info, go to www.plagiocephaly.org/support Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
