Today we took Sydney to Annandale to see if she could get her band back….well there were a couple of issues…her major bumps have started to clear up (yay) but now she is starting to get smaller red bumps (boo). Now that we have stopped using the cream the pediatrician prescribed it seems the bumps are slowly returning. The bumps are on her scalp and sometimes on her back and around her neck. I’ve changed laundry detergent and bath soap and when she’s home she’s only in a diaper and it doesn’t seem to have helped much.
Although there were a few bumps, the technician said she would try to fit and adjust the band so we could bring it home with us and put it on when the bumps disappear but it turns out Sydney’s head has grown rapidly and the band is fitting too snug. Normally this would be a good thing but it also means that once adjustments are made, there won’t be much foam on the inside and the band will not last long enuff to make progress on shaping the head before another band would be needed. So here’s the new plan: I made Sydney an appointment with her pediatrician Wednesday morning to see what can be done about her rash (the pediatrician who saw her for the rash wasn’t her primary doctor). Once the pediatrician has given us a treatment plan we will call Cranial Technologies and provide an update to them. But basically we are going to have to start over with the band once her skin issue has been taken care of. We will ultimately have to take Sydney to get new images and a new band will have to be made.
thanks for the update. am sure Sydney's rash will go away, you can get a new band, and all the work you've done so far won't be wasted. Am glad you found a place sort of close to be able to take care of your little girl. She's a beauty and lucky to have you two as parents. Keep up the great work. It'll be beach time soon enough, and she will love the ocean as much as the two of you do.
