3 week check up-feeling down

[Guest guest]

Hi, my son has been in his band for 3 wks now and I (unfortunately) had high expectations when I went for our first follow up visit. He improved by .5mm. That's it!! I was warned that the progress would be slow given his age (almost 10 mths) but it still hurt. I'm already getting so many stares, comments, etc. I'm already thinking about so many social events where I would really rather not have the helmet on him. And after all this, there may not even be any more improvement.

I just needed to vent.

Thanks...

Welcome to the group Ingrid. This group is definitely a blessing; it's nice to have other parents to go through this process with.

Hi everyone!

My name is Ingrid and we just found out my son has plagiocephaly(wheww

long word). I am kind of excited because I have been so worried about

his head and didn't know why it looks like it does or what could be

done for it , if any. But I have found out there is treatment, as you

all know. Yea! I am in just in the first steps. I spoke with some one

at DOC Bands today and I go to his ped. monday for a referral. I also

believe he may have torticollis because he has always had his head to

one side (right side) I think thats what may have caused the plagio.

Well anyways I am so happy to find this group. And as soon as I find

out how to post pic of my little man , I will. His name is Bradley and

he is 4m.

Have a Blessed Day!

Ingrid
