Day 476 - Helmet Sores 🤕
Wednesday, April 20th, 2022 Dad left early in the morning for Jersey. 🛫 When James woke up we noticed that his red spots had been getting worse. Comparison photos below over the past few days. Mom immediately contacted the local orthotic office who also sells starband helmets. We were directed that any office listed on the Star Band Kids website would be able to get us in and make an adjustment on the helmet. Well unfortunately that was not the case the local office "did not feel comfortable". Not because he is on a ventilator because they didn't even know that. They just didn't want to be responsible for messing up the helmet. They suggested mom contact a Hanger Clinic, which are nationwide. Of course they also deny us since our helmet is not from them. However a doctor from the Hanger Clinic called Mom back and said that she would see him but only with an order from our original office in Tampa and even then she wouldn't guarantee making a change to the helmet....
