Re: Re: Anyone have a helmet through Children's Hospital in Boston?

[Guest guest]

April,

We have so much in common! My dd will be 8 months next week and will be

getting her helmet tomorrow (provided the weather holds out). We are also

using NOPCO. We actually have Dr. Proctor at Children's Hospital (not the

Floating Hospital). She didn't handle the casting very well, but she

usually doesn't handle things like like well as she doesn't like strangers

very much at the moment. I would love to stay in touch as we will be going

through this at the same time. Does your daughter have Torticollis as well?

Mine does, it was just diagnosed at 7 months. Do you live in Massachusetts?

I live in Andover, so relatively close to Boston.
