Our Cranial Remolding Orthosis is almost behind us!


Dear Friends,

It appears that we are almost to the end of our CRO program. Our orthotist said that we are week to week now and it won't be much longer. It started way back on Halloween 2009, and seems like forever since we could hold our baby close. Soon (within a couple of weeks), we will be able to store our helmet away forever. Then it will be our job to continue to assist families who need help regarding Plagiocephaly, Torticollis and CRO. Visit www.AlexandrasPHATE.org for more information.
