daughter about to get helmet

[Guest guest]

well last friday we went to union orthotics and got the star scan

thing done for Athena's Starband. I was pretty nervous about it, but

it was not as bad as I expected. Now we are just waiting for the

band. But I have a question, she is 10 months old, and the ortho said

she would consider Athena's case to be 'moderate to severe'. I think

she is going through a growth spurt right now. Will it be bad, if we

get the helmet after she is done with this growth spurt? I only think

she is due to the fact that she is eating a ton, and sleeping a

little more. I just want to make this as painless and short as

possible. The ortho did say that it was up to us, when we wanted to

quit. That she would not push us to keep it on if we didn't want to

and were satisfied. I even asked her a few questions that I got off

of here, to see how experienced she really was and how good she was,

and she answered them, right on the money. She said she deals with

plagio babies 8 hours a day, 3 days a week...sometimes more, and her

co worker deals with them the other days during the week. So they

know what they are doing...I hope. I am just so nervous. I hope she

gets the helmet at the beginign of the week. That way, maybe she will

still have a little of her growth spurt left by the time she gets it

on.

Sorry this is so jumbled. I am tired, and I am trying to be quick,

since it just started thunderstorming here.

Thank you all,

Athena, 10 months, awaiting STARband, and rt tort
