new.. helmet from u of m (michigan)

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I just discovered this board.. My 3rd son born in nov 07, was dx as

having plagio (12mm) at 6 months. He is now almost 7 mos (on june

9th). We went ahead and decided to do treatment. We received his

helmet yesterday. I was really unaware of this type of problem. we

first started to notice his head getting flat at around 3 1/2 to 4

mos. His ped told us to reposition...blah blah ...that did'nt work

so at his 6 month check up she referred us to U Of M...we ordered the

helmet a couple of days after the appt. we were really unaware that

their were other bands/helmets available (doc/ starband). Well now

after doing research on here...I'm really worried that his helmet is

not going to work as well as the doc/star. anyone with expierence

from the U of M? It was custom made (they did the scanner thing not

the casting) if anyone has any info on them please share it...We

already paid for 1/2 of it $600 our insurance paid for the other

half. this seems cheap to me after seeing how much some of you have

paid for yours. Of course you get what you pay for...so I am pretty

concerned..

next ? I plan on painting it and decorating it with stickers..I see

alot of people do paint, stickers and then mod podge? if I do it in

this order...am I stuck with the stickers or is there a way to remove

them and re do or repaint it?

I will post some pictures of him when I get a chance...

Thank you,
