Guest guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I am SO SORRY you are going thru all of this!!! Do you have the original helmet? DId they rescan for the 2nd helmet? Is there a Cranial tech nearby that you can go and get a free consult with? Jen and Luli - almost 3 years old Left tort - Right Plagio - Hanger Band Grad - CA http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/j/jens5th/ Getting frustrated So I took Jayden back to the orthotist last week because I felt that his helmet was too big AND because the side burns of the helmet rubbed his skin raw, made his head break out again and then the break out traveled down his body. His orthotist is very nice but says the helmet is the same size. I dont agree because it moved around alot more than the first one. :/ THEN the second helmet was made with a different foam, which was more plastic like and it actually held the sweat in (like kept the sweat wet inside instead of drying like the other one)which seemed to make him get more blisters by keeping his head soaked all day and HOT. His ortho said since the break outs spread to the rest of his body it "cant be the helmet" but I KNOW it is because he never started any of these issues UNTIL he got the helmet. NOBODY can explain why my son is breaking out in these blisters and boils on his head. The ortho says no one has ever seen that and that my son maybe her first case where he cant wear a helmet. He's still taking his antibiotics but his head is still covered in blisters. He had to have an antibiotic cream for his face cause his skin was peeling off from the side burns of the second helmet. I'm so frustrated. He had only had the first helmet two weeks and already had some growth in length which is great. Now we have to wait till everything clears to put the helmet back on and I feel like time is ticking by. I'm so irritated by it all. How can my son be a one in a million case?????? Why has this never been seen and why can no one even begin to give me an explanation. I Mean...everything that is being done right now is just a guesstimate so to speak. McCain or Obama?
