Story
Zach is our littlest baby. He is now 10 months old. He has been diagnosed with Torticollis, Brachycephaly and Plagiocephaly, ‘flat head syndrome’.
Basically, a tightening in his neck muscles has lead to him only being able to comfortably turn his head one way which means his head shape, ears and eyes are now out of alignment. He has had a scan and been diagnosed with the most severe form of this condition. He will need to have physiotherapy and cranial osteopathy to attempt to relieve his pain. In addition to this, he will need to wear a helmet (TiMband) for 23 hours a day for at least the next 6 months in order to try and correct his head shape. This treatment is not available on the NHS as it is deemed a ‘cosmetic’ procedure.
Please see the website above and photos for more information regarding this and if you feel able to, please contribute to help towards the cost of his helmet. Thank you for reading.

5 years agoHi, tomorrow is THE day... first helmet fitting for Zach in the morning. I’m feeling very anxious and apprehensive now the reality of the situation has hit me. He will be wearing the helmet for 23 hours a day for the next 6 months at least 😕 I took him for his first hair cut this afternoon as there is a risk of overheating with the helmet on. Will update tomorrow. Page is only open until Sunday so please please donate if you feel able, to assist in funding further appointments. Thank you xx
