Matthew has had his helmet for about 1 month now. It is to help his head grow properly, it still has a large flat spot, the helmet helps it grow into the correct shape. As long as his soft spot is open, we are able to help his head grow in the correct shape.
I have had TWO doctor's question the helmet. The 1st doctor was his Pediatric Neurologist. I had told him a few weeks prior to him getting it, that we had been approved. When he saw it for the 1st time, he said, "oh, is that for the seizures?" Um, no.
The 2nd doctor was in the ER last week. He was examining Matthew (not much bedside manner, by the way) and says, "Usually children do not require helmets for their seizures until they are older". I corrected him and explained it was to help the flat spot on his head even out. The doctor continued to exam him and said, "has anyone ever had trouble finding his testicles?" After a minute, he found them. Gee, perhaps this is another reason to get a 2nd opinion about Matthew's condition!
