    Weʼve raised £425 to help fund for a medical helmet for Mason

    Funded on Thursday, 12th July 2018

    Don't have time to donate right now?

    Story

    Mason is 4 and a half months old and suffers with Brachycephaly (flat head syndrome). This condition requires a medical helmet to correct the shape of his head. The best time to start this correction is between 4-6 months because the bones in the skull are still soft and are able to be reshaped easily. We have tried all the re-positioning techniques that the doctors advised us to do but none of them have worked, so getting a medical helmet is our last resource to correct the shape of Masons head. Flat head syndrome causes Masons head to buldge at the sides and also at the front slightly, which means his head is slightly misshapen. Sadly the NHS do not fund these medical helmets so he has to go privately and they cost around £2000, but me and his family are not able to fund the whole amount sadly. I would greatly appreciate if anyone could help out to help me raise this money please so Mason can get the treatment he needs.

    I have attached a couple pictures below of the shape of Masons head but the pictures dont do much justice as to how bad it actually is.

      Mason went to have his helmet fitted today! We are finally on the road to getting things better for him! We have to go back in another 2 weeks to see how he is getting on incase there are any problems with the helmet, but fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly!

The total that was raised is £175, so thankyou to everyone who has donated and came along to play and support us! Mason came along to also watch with his auntie!

      Yesterday Mason had his second lot of scans to see if anything had changed, luckily nothing had drastically changed in those 2 weeks. Mason is now booked in for another appointment in 2 weeks time, 8th may, to have his little helmet fitted. Mason will have his helmet on for around 4-6 months, and he will have regular checks to make sure things are working. Due to the severity of his condition we were told that his head won't ever go back to 'normal' but the helmet is going to even it out and stop it getting worse, causing problems later on.
