My Nopco Experience Update....Making Good Progress.

[Guest guest]

I'm writing this to update my previous post and because I feel Nopco

has been unfairly represented on the board. It seems the few people

who have posted were mostly negative and some were very negative.

Parents in Boston shouldn't feel like they have to drive all the way

to CT to get this problem corrected as some posting would have you

believe.

My son, , is now in his 7th week in the Boston Band from

Nopco. We had the helmet fitted at the Longwood location.

He had a 99% cephalic index/Brachy.

At the 2 week visit (we went to the Braintree location in the Blue

Hills Medical Center) he was already at 97%. We just went back again

at 6.5 weeks and he is now at 93%. They say they would like to get it

to around 88.

In other words, he's making good progress.

He has redness only on his cheeks and only when excessively sweating

on very hot days. When his helmet is removed, the redness goes away in

about 15 minutes (time once he cools down).The sweating on the rest of

his head has somewhat plateaued after the first week. He has no other

fit issues.

He didn't need an adjustment at the first visit, but this visit they

did give him a little more cheek room as he is growing.

He sleeps fine in the helmet, and is moving through all of his normal

developmental milestones with no problem.

The one aspect of Nopco I've been dissatisfied with is the billing

dep't where they repeatedly have made mistakes in submitting our claim

and we are still muddling through it (after having to pay up front).

I hope it's eventually resolved.

As for the helmet and it's intended outcome, we seem to be tracking

just fine.

Hope this helps ease other Boston mommies (or dads!) minds about Nopco

or helmeting in general.

Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns.
