Re: Advice

[Guest guest]

Becky,

I was just reading through your post. I live in Dayton as well and

my daughter just received her helmet this past Thursday. We went to

Hanger Orthotics (The Brace Shopee) which is located in Monroe, Ohio

near Cincinnati - about 50 min from where we live in Oakwood. The

Doctor at Cincinnati Children's recommended this place and they are

wonderful!

My daughter Kacy is adjusting well. She is measuring 16 mm right

now, what we thought was mild pre-measurement, and we are hopefully

the helmet will help to correct her head shape. She just turned 6

months and they told us that she should have to wear it for 2 1/2 to

3 months. If you have any questions about Hanger Orthotics let me

know. It's a little bit of a closer drive for you and they will

provide a nice discount for the helmet if your insurance will not

cover it.

Hope this is helpful!
