hello

[Guest guest]

Hi Leah,

You are not alone in your feelings. I HATE the way the helmet looks,

have been very cautious with taking my son out in it and to be

honest, I take him OUT of it when we have a special occasion such as

a wedding, b-day party, family event, etc. With all of that said

though, my son has been in his helmet since Jan 11, and the change in

his head is AMAZING!! I mean I didn't think it looked that bad when

we started, but now I see such a big difference, I'm SO excited that

we decided to band.

You asked for positives, Not only is this changing my sons head shape

to be more " normal " but it has it's perks. He is now almost 8 months

old and I can't tell you how many times he's thrown a fit while

holding him and swung his head back and WACKED it against a wall or

door, but in the helmet there is no pain when he does that. Or now

that he's crawling, the falls have been pain free so far.

The only negatives I've experienced so far beside the normal

stinkiness, is that people stare (which really chaps my hide), and I

miss my forehead a LOT. But I just try to kiss it and cuddle it as

much as I can when we take the helmet off.

I also feel the guilt of thinking I did this to him, but you have to

move past that into the thankful stage that there is a way to fix

it! And thank you're lucky stars that it isn't something more

serious, because as a first time mom myself I never realized how

lucky I am to have such a healthy baby, it makes this seem like a

walk in the park.

It's just like braces....you would fix your childs teeth right? This

is sort of along the same lines.

Good luck!

Hi I'm new. My baby goes in for her consultation on Tuesday. She is a

Plagio kid but I don't know how severe yet. It looks bad to me but

I'm not a professional. I'm hoping they decide to band her so I know

it will be fixed. The only thing I am concerned with is the stares. If

she gets a band I may put " Just Ask " on it. And my hubby is having a

hard time dealing with it.

It seems the one thing everyone has said and felt is the anger towards

the professionals not telling us about this before it was a problem.

Why doesn't eh Back to Sleep campaign put some info in it about this

issue? I just don't understand. I am a new mom, and I hate that the

info is not out there like it should be.

I am reading through some of the messages already posted and I hope to

learn more before her consultation. Anything I need to know that I

haven't found on other websites?

Hi Leah, I am not a big fan of how the helmet looks either; however, I know that for my son we are doing the best thing for him so I've tried to relax and have fun with it. I change the theme weekly and most people comment on how cute he is! Babies are so cute that even with the helmet, they are still really cute despite the helmet. I haven't had a single rude comment and places/people that I thought for sure would make fun didn't. The only sleep instruction that I was given was put him on his back! My ped. noticed my son's head at 2 months. I felt guilty that I didn't notice it prior to my doc pointing it out to me. I also felt guilty because I could have possibly prevented it (less carseat time, swing time, etc.); however, at the same time I did try to do things such as tummy time, change feeding sides, etc. but my son still had a flat head. This is my first child too and the thought of having MY son banded was embarassing to me. However, try to remain positive. It is such a short time span and most babies adjust just fine. I think helmets/bands are used interchangably...I could be wrong though as a friend of mine that decided not to band her daughter was cautioned against helmets. As far as worth traveling 5+hours, I'm not sure. If there is an experienced ortho near you then I would think that may be the way to go. I can only speak of CT and the DOC band. I highly recommend them/it. We went there only because that is who our ped. referred us to. I tried to log-on to your website and wasn't able to get on. Let me know if there is another way to look. Its not your fault! I know many babies my

son's age that were/are constantly on their backs and their heads are just fine. I think some babies are prone to it more than others plus there could be other factors (tort., intrauterine position, etc.) Good luck. 9 month old son, doc bandkatiewilliams17 <kew1976@...> wrote: Hi Leah,You are not alone in your feelings.

HI ,

Have you had your son's thyroid tested? Proper tests are Free T3,

Free T4, TSH.

Low thyroid can be hugely implicated in a host of issues, including

constipation, lack of proper brain development, and many more....

Correcting this, if it is a problem, can be enormously useful.

If you have these tests done, or have had these tests done, please

note that many labs give reference ranges that are much too low.

Kids should be in the upper 1/3 of the proper reference range.

Here are the proper reference ranges:

www.labcorp.com/pdf/Pediatric_Reference_Ranges_Endocrinology_0981.pdf

Also, are you dealing with yeast? My son's sensory stuff goes

through the roof when his yeast is up, but is very manageable when it

is down.

Vitamin K is one of the few Vitamins which can act like " a drug.

Vitamin A(Retinol) and Vitamin B3(Niacin) are other Vitamins with

drug-like qualities. I'll see if I can find the proper dosage.

The other protocols of Vitamns you are using are " excellent;very good.

I would be extremely careful about not giving too much Vitamin K. Anne

Vitamin K is found naturally in ALL Greens; such as Spinach;Kale; etc.

For us, it is most noticeable in poops - they become yellow and

fluffy when yeast is high. Also, he gets spacey and stimmy. Others

report excessive giggling, rashes on the bum, and some other

symptoms. Most of our kids have yeast issues at some level.

A easy sign to recognize for Yeast is:

" A white coated tongue. Another name for Candida in mouth is

If a person has a white coated tongue; this means Candida Yeast.

There is also a saliva test where you drop spit into a glass of water.

If the saliva forms threads in the water; it indicates Yeast. Trivia:

" A dark-brown or black-tongue indiates: A Deficieny of Niacin Vit.B3.

Make sure you get the hair elements test so you can apply the counting rules.

What K doucments on this list?

--- On Thu 03/08, iluvhomeschoolingmykids < <p>My 14 y/o son was

recently dx with SID and ?ASD. He was also recently <br>

diagnosed with Pectus Carinatum. <br>

<br>

This past November, I started him on Nature Made Vitamin B6 <br>

600mg/day, Schiff Melatonin 25 mg/day, Nature Made Magnesium 250mg <br>

daily, Nature Made Bcomplex with Vit C daily, Nature Made Fish oil 1 <br>

daily, MVI, and cell supporter from Herbal life.<br>

<br>

I just ordered Vitamin K2 from www.vrp.com. It was the best deal I <br>

could find of 15mg per cap for $46.95 for 90 caps.<br>

<br>

Okay, he is 14 y/o and weighs 135 lbs. According to the K documents <br>

on this group it sounds like he needs 15mg three times a day, but <br>

that sounds like a lot to me. Any suggestions?<br>

<br>

His symptoms are:<br>

<br>

soft bones (pectus carinatum)<br>

fine hand tremors<br>

severe constipation <br>

irritability<br>

severe SID<br>

fine rash on both arms<br>

self stim behavior? pulls/rips nails during stress <br>

<br>

I also have to say he has the oddest hands. My husband and I can't <br>

quite describe them in words. They are somewhat feminine, and he <br>

keeps them curled up next to his body. (I know this is also r/t to <br>

his SID and dyspraxia). The skin on his hands seems overly smooth and <br>

maybe a little thin and shiny. <br>

<br>

My goal is to get his nutritionally supported and start oral <br>

chelation.<br>

<br>

We just had his one and only amalagram removed yesterday. I also <br>

ordered the hair test for metals.<br>

<br>

Thank you for any help you can offer,<br>

Kathy<br>

hello

hello, i just wanted to say my son alex is doing good with his helmet!

He gets a little sweaty but other than that he is ok. He has a scan at

the end of the month, so we'll see if it's working or not.

No need to worry. Get an evaluation so you are safe either way. He does

sound like he has words though which is great. We were told 50 words by

age 2 is the norm.

This sounds pretty close to appropriate for a 19 month old boy.

I would say " mother knows best " . To me, it sounds like he's has words. My

son didn't have any words at the age of 3!..I knew at 12 months that

something was wrong. He could not say, Mom or Dad or yes or no..he grunted

or made up sounds...You can always get an evaluation through Early

Intervention in your state. They would provide Speech Therapy until the age

of 3 y.o., if they deem necessary.

Thanks for the welcome Debbie.

My son is 8 and is very book smart but he doesn't get personal space and can be annoying to other children at times. But he can be very lovable too. I am in Medford MA.

Hi Liz,

How old are your kids? Do you know of any resources around here? I am just starting out, so overwhelmed...

My son is 19 and goes to Dean College in lin. So he did elementary school, middle school and high school all in San Diego. But I sent you info on AANE, which is a great resource on schools, summer programs, therapists, doctors, etc.LizOn May 24, 2007, at 12:33 PM, wrote:Hi Liz,How old are your kids?

Look under the message thread called: What makes an educator highly

effective?

There is a lot of feedback on this topic.

Thanks for getting input!

Roxanna, what a small world! I would like to know whether you have

had positive experiences in dealing with your child's school. If so

what are they? What are the negative experiences. What do you feel you

help you more. Thanks, so much!
