Helmet head

We have had quite a week here in the wood household!

At gray's 4 month appt last week the dr noted that the flat spot on her head was getting worse and she still has tightness in her neck. We got a referral to a head evaluator and we went. Her head is three standard deviations away from where it should be and so they said she needed a helmet. Insurance wouldn't cover it because it is categorized as "durable medical equipment" and it was going to be $2350.

I looked through the packet of information they gave me and died laughing when I found the story book entitled "my brother has a crooked head"
Ha!! It goes on to talk about a little boy that "eats his dinner and goes to bed. And he has a crooked head." and "now he doesn't have a crooked head, the STARband fixed it, just like the dr. Said."
Oh, geez, it was hilarious. While running around the dance studio showing this book off, the dance moms offered to rhinestone grays helmet. :)

As it turns out, the pediatrician thought she was sending us too a physical therapist, not an orthotist! Ha! So we are holding off on the helmet until we try some physical therapy first.
