Hello! My name is Ariel and I am a proud mommy to a 12 month old
with positional plagiocephly named Kayden! I live in Okinawa, Japan
with my husband who is active duty military. Kayden had congenital
torticollis which caused his plagio. Thankfully the tort is no
longer present thanks to pt, but his headshape has not changed.
Right now we are going through the process of getting treatment for
Kayden. Tricare, our military medical insurance provider, will not
cover the cost of bands or helmets. Kayden's deveolpmental pedi is
sending pictures of his head to surgeons in Hawaii to see if we
should have a consultation. Helmets/bands are pretty much a no-go
for us because we are all the way over here. If we were in the
states we would probably opt for the band, but since we would not be
able to all of the follow up appointments required for the band, it
looks like it's not an option.
The thought of surgery really frightens me. I was wondering if
there is anyone here who's child has had it?
Well, it's nice to meet you all!
Ariel
