New here, with questions.....

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

My dd Isabelle was diagnosed with Torticollis at 7.0 months. She has

mild-moderate plagiocephaly on the left side of her head. The

difference in measurement is 9 mm which our neurosurgeon felt was

borderline for a helmet and he left the decision up to us. My dh and

I decided to try it as we didn't want to have any outstanding

questions a year from now on whether it would have made

improvements. She will be getting it this Thursday. I'm worried

about adjustment. Can you all let me know how well your children

adjusted? Did they have problems sleeping? She also tends to have

very sensitive skin (eczema) and I'm worried about her sweating and

developing rashes. The helmet she is getting is not a doc band (we

live in MA and they don't offer them here) but it is open on the

top. I'm hoping that will help. Thanks in advance for your advice!
