Ian has entered week 5 of noggin correction and to say he is doing great is an understatement. We went in this morning for a scan and Bernie (the Orthotics guy) was beyond amazed of Ian's progress his head is almost perfect. He called in another co-worker to see how much change had occurred in the 5wks. They were both super excited with the progress and we did discuss Ian graduating from the helmet but, Ian's age was the deciding factor (he's still young enough that his head could regress). So, instead we will go back in 3wks for a follow up scan he wants to keep a close eye on things as he does not want to over correct. Some adjustments were made to his helmet to assist in what Bernie is going after. They emailed me Ian's scan to show the changes from his first scan to today, if you're at all interested in looking at them and being slightly confused let me know.
This is a decision we do not regret for a minute even though everywhere we turned (insurance company/flex spending company) for "approval" we were denied. Our Doctor is beyond annoyed with insurance, he too not only sat down and wrote insurance a letter but he also took the time to call and fight for us. That's what I love about our doctor, he fights for his patients like he would fight for his own children and treats Ian as if he was his own, with his recommendations.
