Hello,

At her age you definitely want an active band from a place with a

good reputation because you don't have any time to waste. The

closest place I know of in the area with a good reputation and

active band is still quite a travel for you, it would be Cranial

Technologies in Clinton, Connecticut. There is NOPCO in Children's

Hospital in Boston, but they use a passive version of a STARband,

which would defnitely not be a good choice in your situation. I just

checked our database and we do have a couple NH locations, one with

a parent contact too! I don't think we've had many members use

these places, so definitely be sure to check up on the ortho's

training and experience. Here is the info:

New Hampshire Hanger Cranial Band* Hanger Prosthetics & Orthotics,

237 Route 108 # 201, Somersworth, NH 03878 Aiken, CO 603-742-

New Hampshire Starband* New England Brace CO (NEBCO), 700 Lake

Avenue, Manchester, NH 03103 Stacey Dorr (603) 668-8322

www.orthomerica.com --PARENT CONTACT: podycat@...

Good luck in your search. Contacting the parent and getting a first

hand report of their experience would probably be a great idea.

There is also Angel Flight, which offers free air fare to

appointments if none of the real local options pan out for you. We

traveled to CT from Mass for our daugther's helmets.

To both posters - WOW! Thank you for the amazingly quick responses. We

are located in Northern, NH but mom is willing to travel and has

contacts in the Rochester NH area...not far from the Somersworth

location and Manchester in only a little under 2 hours drive. I will

be seeing mom tomorrow and accompanying her to the TOT collar appt. on

Monday and will definatly keep you posted. We are going to atleast use

the TOT collar in the meantime until we can get her a consultation for

the plagio. I can't thank you enough...this is going to make a big

differene in this beautiful child's life.

Hi Sara,

I'm happy we could help. Like said if you could get her to the

Cranial Tech in CT that would be great. You don't have any time to waste.

The younger a baby is banded the better and faster the correction. She

will need a prescription in order to get her baby banded. Will her

pediatrician give her one? Angel Flights is awesome and will fly her

for free. You can learn more about them here: http://www.aircareall.org/

Good luck and please keep us posted.

She will have no problem getting a prescription from her

pediatrician but there are few things I need to have him confirm, or

refer her for confirmation about. He is a general pediatrician and

not concerned about the plagio (has not treated any cases in the

past)...I know, I know....I only began working with this little girl

3 months ago because her EI eval was so late (I am contracted). She

needs to have a CT scan to solidify this diagnosis but I will be

contacting the resources you provided ASAP. I had actually come

across the Angel Flight website earlier this evening and noticed

that they had a picture of a child in a band but was unsure if they

provided service for this kind of treatment. Getting her to CT would

be great...we'll see what we can do. Again, thank you for your

help...I'll be doing my best to get this child on the fast track to

treatment!

Good luck Sara! You're doing a great thing for them! It must be so

nice for them to have someone on their side and helping because it

can be overwhelming, especially when you have a pediatrician like

that! Please keep us posted on what happens!

Sara,

I'm sure you're aware that it could take 6-8 weeks to get her in to

see a specialist. That's a lot of correction time down the drain. Does

the pediatrician think it could be craniosynostosis? Not all babies

diagnosed with plagio have had CT scans. I think the best thing for

you to do is get the script and make a casting appointment w/Cranial

Tech while you wait for the appt w/the specialist. Time is definitely

not on her side.

We have had many members use Angel Flights everyone of them were

thrilled with them.

You're so awesome for doing this for her, she's a lucky baby. :-)

I will need to have a conversation with the pediatrician regarding

his thoughts but at this point he hasn't even really addressed the

plagio or spoken of a differential diagnosis such as

craniosynostosis. I will be making a trip to his office in the

morning with this new information. It is an interesting relationship

as he used to be MY pediatrician The secretary knows me by name

and I have certainly made my share of phone calls into the office

regarding this child...he has always been receptive to my thoughts

on this case so I don't forsee compliance on his part to be a

hinderance I'll keep you posted

Thank you for the enouragement. I mentioned before that we live in a

very rural area and at times I feel like more of an advocate than a

therapist! We just don't have the resources. My time is very well

spent trying to help the families that I serve. I'll be sure to keep

you posted

Sara,

I see that you have already had excellent help from and Stacey,

but I just wanted to say thank you. It is wonderful that you are

willing to go the extra mile for your patient. That is a rare quality

and I hope you never lose it. Good luck with the plagio treatment for

your client. Tell that mom to get on here if she has internet

access,lol.

Sara,

I see that you have already had excellent help from and Stacey,

but I just wanted to say thank you. It is wonderful that you are

willing to go the extra mile for your patient. That is a rare quality

and I hope you never lose it. Good luck with the plagio treatment for

your client. Tell that mom to get on here if she has internet

access,lol.
