Re: Have you been happy with Cranial Technologies? CANDICE

[Guest guest]

Hi , 15 and 13.5 must be in cm? if so then it would be 150-135,

which would be 15mm of asymmetry - which is significant. maybe i

missed something :-) but I think that is how it would be calculated.

I would try to keep the helmet on as much as possible, especially

since it seems like your daughters growth is slow (and will take a

little longer).

I hope the ortho knows what he's doing. I know you have concerns. I

would just track that she's getting better not worse. Of course it

would be great if you could try CT since you're not happy with the

local Hanger, but I know that $3000 is not that easy to come by.
