Guest guest Posted March 15, 2001 Report Share Posted March 15, 2001 Hi my name is April and I am the proud mom of two wonderful girls. The oldes is 6 and the youngest is 7 mths. It is my youngest who has the Plagiocephaly. We went yesterday to have her fitted for her helmet and the Dr. who made the cast told us that it would be very trumatic for both na and myself but that it didn't hurt her at all. Well as soon as he put the stocking over her face we all expected the worst but to our amazement she loved it. She smiled all the way through the casting until he had to take off the cast & she only fussed a little at that. I can't tell you what a relief that was for all of us. The Dr. keapt telling us he had never had a baby who didn't cry. Bri was born with her skull plates overlapping each other and Tort. after PT her Tort. is much better but it took this long for the Dr's to send her for x-rays to rule out craniosynistosis and thank god it wasn't. It was only through my research that we all became aware of Plagiocephaly and were able to get her in to get her helmet. I am very glad to have found this group and the caps site and would love to hear from other families. Especially if there are any in the New England area. I havn't been able to find any groups or contacts in this area and I would love to be able to help and get the word out to New Englanders about this condition.
