NJ Paramos - transportation

[Guest guest]

We got approved for the band and we have scheduled casting for next

Friday. There are couple of issues on our side. We have to leave the

country for 2 months in the mid of July, so best case we are going to

have the band for around 10 weeks. Do you think that this is enough to

get correction (my son is 6 months old today).

Second problem is that we live in Manhattan and we do not have a car,

and I am not a driver, so my husband needs to get off work every time

we need to go for appointments. His job is really demending, and is

hard for him to get out, so I am trying to figure out a way how to get

to Paramus on my own. Apperantly there is no convenient public

transportation, and I am sure that taking a cap in and out is goint to

cost more than the band. Does anybody know another way besides driving

to get to Paramus from Manhattan. I am ready to pay up to $100 per

visit (as we would have to still pay 50-60 to rent the car even if my

husband can get off from work).

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

I would call Cranial Tech directly and ask what they recommend. They may know a route that can work for you. I would go with renting a car and driving. Can get a car for about 40 a day or so. Perhaps you can borrow a friends? I think at 6 months you will need to go every two weeks for adjustments. I would try to get the first of the morning appointment, drive in and then your hubby can get to work around 12. Or, you could take a late afternoon appointment and he can work just the morning shift. He can pull half days.... I would get an appointment now and get the band asap you may run into a timing issue with the July trip. I would hurry things up and get in there this week. Get cast and you will pay upfront and then the band will be ready mabye as soon as next week. Good luck. We drove from Long Island.

I took the Major Degan to the Washington Bridge. Then it is about 10 minutes more to Cranial Tech. I figure you will need to go in for the casting, and once every two weeks. Figure around 4-6 times in total.

Hi,

I read it somewhere (Don't remember where) around Dec 07 that, child

with Husky Plan can get transportation to visit treatment. I do

believe that they will provide transportation to CT (for conn

resident) if you need it, you just need to contact them at least two

days before your app. But, we did not read the fine print, as later we

decide to go by our own.

Hope this help.

Hi there-

I can't help with your transportation problem, but I wanted to say

that I think it's possible to get good correction in 10 weeks. I

know one mother whose son was over 9 months old when he started

treatment and he graduated after 10 or 11 weeks. I would think it

would be better to do it now before you go then to wait until you

get back, but just make sure you ask CT about it before he's casted,

if you haven't already, to see what they say. I would think that if

you could get one more adjustment before you leave, you could

actually have him wear it for another 2 weeks after you leave and

then take it off (for a possibility of 12 weeks). But there's also

the chance that he could outgrow it even before then, he's at a peak

growing time. Which is good, because that should help get the

results you're looking for in a shorter amount of time.

Good luck! I hope you figure out the transportation problem!

I just wanted to clarify my statement: I should have said, depending

on the severity, I think it is possible to get good correction in 10

weeks. What are his beginning asym measurements?

, He does not have asymmetry, but has branchy. He got measured 3 weeks ago at 96, but I have been repositioning him since then and i have seen improvement, so I am expecting to be less then this. Also, I should say that for everybody his head looks normal (the whole family, the pediatrics, etc), so I am against everybody to put the band, but I feel that if I do not do it I will aways wonder whether I could have helped for his head to be almost perfect. I really hope for good results from the band as everybody is so skeptical, and are saying that I am just waisting my money and time.
