Re: Need everyones opinion. PLEASE.................

May 22, 2005

Thanks for everyones opinion. We have decided since we are happy

with the correction we have already gotten. I am going to keep it

off during the day. But at night put it back on while he sleeps so

we dont have to worry about regression, which really is my main

concern since the tort is still not resolved. And we've decided to

do this until he outgrows the helmet. Might at well get our monies

worth, right?

thanks again for all your help. I really havent posted alot these

three mos during the helmet wearing. But have read lots and lots of

posts and you all have been so helpful.

for the next 2 weeks. Once he's out of it I would reposition as

much as possible. Or if the band still fits after the 2 weeks I

would put it on him for sleeps only until it doesn't fit anymore.

for you. Whenever I see such wonderful results I get tears in my

eyes. I wouldn't wont you to miss any additional improvement or

chance any regression. Most of my son Andre's flatness occurred

during 6 to 12 months and during this time his head circumference

grew at least 3 cm.
