Guest guest Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 We got our helmet today and so far my dd is doing well. I was a little shocked when (OPA in The Woodlands, TX) called to say it was ready, because we went in a week ago for her mold. She screamed throughout that whole process though. When I got the call today, I wasn't quite ready for it all, but I am adjusting pretty good so far as well. She didn't complain at all when they put it on her or adjusted it. She fussed a little the first time I took it off to check for spots when I put it back on. Her first nap with it on she has fussed a little bit, but can't say for sure that is the helmet or the fact that we got off our nap schedule. We are still waiting to hear about insurance, but decided to go ahead and move forward with treatment so as not to delay the process any more. I think she looks pretty cute in it.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 I am glad you decided to go ahead and get the helmet. You won't regret it. Are you going to decorate it? The ortho was so excited to see our helmet painted in Minnesota Vikings. She said that is the cutest thing she has seen in a long time. I hope the adjustments go well at home for you and her. 1st day in Helmet We got our helmet today and so far my dd is doing well.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Hi Jasmine We live in New Orleans and use OPA as well. Our son DJ got his helmet on Monday, a day before Savannah! DJ is also 7 months old. He is adjusting well to the helmet...only a few red areas. We're scheduled to our first follow up next Monday AM. Maybe we'll see you there sometime. Good luck with everything. shootersstation13 <shootersstation@...> wrote: We got our helmet today and so far my dd is doing well.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Thanks for your kind thoughts. , we hope to see you there sometime. We go on Tuesday next week. There was another woman there getting a band for her son. It was nice to have someone else going through exactly the same thing at the same time. We got to talk and ask questions. I told her how invaluable this group has been. Thanks for all the support and the answers to the many questions. Jasmine-- I turned around one day and all of a sudden I was a grown up.Shooters Stationhttp://shootersstation.blogspot.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
