Cranial helmet for Henry

Hello family,friends and anyone who may read this we are trying to raise funds for our baby boy Henry who is in need of a DOC band (helmet therapy)
We  came to the realization last month when henry saw a specialist that he may need surgery to straighten his skull in the future,this would leave a very visible scar and that a helmet is necessary for Henrys case of left Plagiocephaly along with facial symmetry.
Henrys soft spot is still open for a short amount of time meaning we are able to mould his skull back to shape over time with the help of a medical helmet.
This is not offered on the NHS meaning we will have to go privately.
We have recently discovered Henry also has stage 4 lip tie meaning we will also have to pay again privately for his surgery as this is not offered on the NHS either which is another big chunk of money for us.
Plagiocephaly, or flat head syndrome is characterized by a flat spot on the back of the head with his being on the left,I have visited the doctors and hospital for over 15 months to be turned away each time and have been told Henry has a soft spot that will get better as he starts to walk,yet deep down I knew this wasn’t the case.
We also believe Henry has Torticollis (head tilt) as he has an abnormally tight neck muscle (stiff neck) that limits the head movement and causes the head to tilt and turn to one side and also causes pressure on one side of the face,making Henry’s eye slightly smaller on one side.
Normally you can self correct the problem with physical therapy but at his age of 15 months and with the rapid growth of his skull and brain Henry would need both the helmet, worn 20 hours day for a few months and physical therapy since his case is so severe for treatment hence his age.

If he doesn't get the helmet it could continue to get worse and cause problems in the future like misaligned facial features and jaw and also lead to major cosmetic surgery which we really don’t want for him.
Based on the time frame of when Henry will need to start this therapy, meaning as soon as possible,so his skull does not mishape anymore there is just no way that we can come up with this amount in time. I feel so uncomfortable to share this but I have to give it a try for Henry,he is my baby and I want him to live a happy healthy pain free life.
Any donation is greatly appreciated and a huge help, even if it's just saying a prayer for Henry or simply just sharing our story.

Thank you for your time in reading, And for your kind donation it really does mean everything to us.


all our love 


 Alexandra & Baby Henry
