getting the band ball rolling

[Guest guest]

,

Happy New year!! You are going in the right direction. The specialist you

will see, after looking at the X-rays, and making sure no more test are

needed {due to inconclusive results} will probably give you a prescription.

You do not need to rely on your pediatrician, and Cranial Tech doesn't write

prescriptions. So you are off to a wonderful start!!

Again Happy New Year!!,

Hi, everyone! I'm new to this and quite nervous about writing, so

bear with me, and be prepared to hear me ramble due to my head

spinning with so many questions. Like some of you, I'm sure, I have

been getting the run around from our pediatricians about diagnosing

one of my twin daughters,Sophie, with plagiocephaly. She is 6 months

old now and 6 months later we are finally getting somewhere. Since

our first well baby visit, I have expressed my concerns about

Sophie's ever flattening head, and just last week we managed to get

our ped. to order x-rays. Have yet to know the results, but my

question now is how to we persuade our ped. to prescribe the band or

helmet? There is no doubt, in my opinion, that she needs to be

banded, and will find a means to get it. January 26th we have an

appt. with a specialist in our area whose name I found on the Cranial

Tech. website. Now I'm worried that I am going in the wrong

direction. So I ask, what is the next step after having x-rays?

Specialist, Cranial Tech.,or ped.? I'm so confused and, personally,

do not hold great faith in our ped.

Thanks for listening. In case you haven't noticed, I'm writing this

on New Years Eve. Not too obsessed with the shape of my daughters

head, huh?

Happy New Year,
