We left bright and early at 8 this morning to make our way to Skokie, Illinois for Mandys DSI Scan for her helmet. She was an angel all day. Hardly made a peep during the 1 1/2 hour drive there. They still put a "sock" over the entire head, it reminds me of pantyhose. It covers the entire face but they can still see thru it and breath. Mandy did cry when they put it on but quickly got over it when I "danced" her into the room for the scan. They set her on a stool, and the techs rattled toys in front of her face so she would look directly at them and they took scans of her head. It took all of 5 min and we were done. Easy Peasy!
After the scan we went to the mall for an hour, we were planning to go out for lunch but I could tell Mandy was falling asleep in her stroller, last thing I wanted was for her to sleep there....I wanted her to sleep for the ride home. So, change of plans and we headed home then. She slept the whole way back. We got to Brookfield and were strarving so we stopped for lunch and woke her from her nap. Mandy is always so happy, full of smiles even after being woken up. She sat in a highchair, ate some pears and smiled at everyone walking by. We then stopped at Babies R Us for a few things and continued our trip home....again not a peep from the girl except her babbling.
I am just so proud/impressed by her. Her happiness and how well she did. If we would have had to do this with Cassie as a baby.....I think I would have rather poked my eyes out with a fork. Cassie HATED the car and when she cried (screamed) she would vomit and choke, stop breathing....it was a nightmare.
So now we wait....she gets fitted with her new helmet on Monday the 18th!
I am so happy it went well for you! Isn't it an easy process? Hopefully the fitting goes well. Just a heads up, the first week with Charley's was a bit rough because she kept getting "hot spots" where they had to go in and shave a little more off of the band because it was putting too much pressure on her head. It didn't bother her any but it was annoying for me because I had to drive to Cranial Tech (a 40 minute drive for us) 5 times in one week to get a good fit. She was really little so there was a lot of growth between the scan and the fitting. I bet Mandy's will be much smoother.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm not sure if you checked out my blog or not but we had Charley's band wrapped. There is an awesome company in Chicago called Vinyl Touch Graphics and they wrap bands for FREE!!! They do it just to be nice and serve the community. You can search for their page on Facebook. You would have to drive here again but it's a quick process and really makes them much less medical looking.
Good luck!
Glad to hear everything went so well!!
