Help my Son with needed medical helmet
Donation protected
Our son Leandro is 5 months old and we need your help. We noticed about a month ago that one of his ears sits much higher than the other. We got concerned and took him to the doctor. They also agreed and decided to do further testing to try and understand what is happening.
The doctor explains that Leandro has fluid in his head. He needs to see a specialist to analyze the fluid. The specialist will help explain if there is anything we need to do for the fluid in his brain. Too much fluid in his head could cause delayed development due to the pressure on his brain. He is going to see the specialist next month and I will update this post with her recommendations.
Currently they've done a couple of tests to help us understand why his head development is uneven. From the results of the tests done in this last month the doctor has explained that Leandro has several things are are uneven in his development. His ears, chin, jaw, and forehead are not even. She is recommending a special helmet. He would need to wear this helmet 23 hours a day. The hope is that the helmet will help shape his head and help everything shift to its proper placement. We also hope that it will help decrease the fluid he has in his head. This is why he needs this helmet as soon as possible.
As parents it breaks our hearts to know he needs medical help and ask for your support with this. We have spent unplanned money for the medical tests he's needed so far and do not have the funds available for the helmet. We ask for your support to help us get this helmet as soon as possible. We appreciate all the help and will be forever grateful.
