I really hope you Can help us get to our goal!!
 
I will start the beginning! Our son Maxwell (Max) was born 22nd 

march 2011 4 weeks premature after a long and difficult pregnancy 
 
He was admitted straight away to the special care baby units ICU 

department were he remained fighting for his breathing difficulties 

for 5 days before been transferred to the special care baby unit for 

a further 5 days he was then happily all in the clear and was allowed 

home to us and his 2 brothers Ethan aged 3 and Luke aged 2.

 
From birth max has suffered with reflux our health visitor and DR 

advised turning his head and keeping him raised up to help/stop him

 been sick luckily this reflux seems to be calming Down now he is 

on a special baby milk.
 
At around 5 weeks we started to notice a slight flattening of the right

 side of max's head we asked for this to be checked at his 6 week 

check and the DR dismissed our concerns just saying he had 

seem worse and give it time! 
 

Since then despite repositioning and lots of tummy time max's head 

has become worse now even his right ear seems to have been 

pushed put of alinement 
 

This situation is worrying us so much That after visiting Dr's max 

has been diagnosed with severe plagiocephaly and brachycephaly 

which is a severe flattening to the skull the only option now after 

months of repositioning is the helmet treatment.
 

The helmet treatment involves using a scan of the babies head to 

construct a helmet which will be worn for 23 hours per day for 3 to 6 

months this will realign the skull over time 
 

The treatment is so expensive at approx £2000 but we are willing to 

do anything to help our baby.
 

unfortunately we just don't have that sort of money and like most 

things it will take quite a while to save that amount and time is 

something we do not have max is at the optimum age for treatment 

and the younger he is the less time he should have to wear the 

helmet! 
 

Our goal is to raise the £2000 for max's treatment we would ask 

anyone who would Like to help no matter what the amount really 

EVERY penny helps to donate to max's Justgiving page 
 

ALL donations go direct to headstart4babies the charity for children 

with these conditions the charity in turn will use the donations under 

max's name to pay his treatment bill
 
Please forward his page info to anyone and everyone you can by 

word of mouth or social networking we have also designed some 

posters if you have anywhere to display them!?
