Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Last night I measured the ears myself and they are both moving back at the same distance. But we measured from the eyes so I don't know if that would even be an accurate measurement. We have two appointments to go to, one with the Cranio Facial and one with our nuerosurgeon. Again, his helmet seems like it fits fine. I noticed one side bulges out more, but that is the flat side. How are your doctors measuring the ears? I just used a sewing measuring tape (the long flexible tape measure) and measured from the corner of his eye to his ear. Both measurements were 1/8 longer than last time. Does that make sence. It doesn't make sense to me how the helmet could be making it worse because it really isn't putting pressure on any one area. When he lies on his back there is a space up front, and when he lies on one side there is space on the other maybe 3/8 of an inch. I just really don't know if it is me or if the helmet is making his head shape change in the wrong direction. Also, I wanted to comment that BCBS has denied our claim for the time being until they received a Letter of Medical Necessity from our doctor and then they said that would pay it. So I don't know what to expect. Everybody I talk to says that the insurance companies don't usually pay, but every time I have talked to them they seem like that are going to approve it. We have had one submission so far and they send me a letter saying they needed more info from my doc. So we are crossing our fingers.....
