WHAT ARE COMFY CAPS ALL ABOUT ? |
Hi, this is my
son Mitchell. He
was born with a rare
blood platelet
disorder that puts
him at a very high
risk of bleeding
internally. When
he began to move
and crawl about he
required a protective
helmet so that if he
son Mitchell. He
was born with a rare
blood platelet
disorder that puts
him at a very high
risk of bleeding
internally. When
he began to move
and crawl about he
required a protective
helmet so that if he
hit his head it would not cause internal damage. A very large
institutional type helmet was given to us to help protect him. Being
not only a mom, but also a Physical Therapist, I knew all to well the
irreversible brain damage an intracranial bleed could do. So the
risk of Mitchell falling and hitting his head was a risk I was not
willing to take. It just killed me to put something so ugly and
stigmatizing on his little head. So with a bit of help and a lot of
modifications COMFY CAPS were created. They are not just soft,
they are comfortable and oh so cute! I made him multiple patterns
and colors, and even holiday prints. So now when he has his cap on,
people do not stare at him, they simply say "what a cute hat".
As a mother with a child that has a bleeding disorder, I live with the
fear of my child getting hurt and internally bleeding at any given
time. COMFY CAPS gives me the comfort of knowing that if he does
fall and hit his head, his injury will be very minimal or possibly
prevented. COMFY CAPS allows Mitchell to play just like any other
little boy and live as normal of a life as possible.
COMFY CAPS could not have been made possible without the help
and support of the staff at the Hemophilia Center of Western New
York, Pediatric Unit-Children's Hospital of Buffalo. They
encouraged me to take something that was so personal and share it
with the rest of the world. Mitchell's disorder has been devastating
for our family but it also created COMFY CAPS and now I have the
chance to help protect other children, I guess everything does happen
for a reason.
I hope that COMFY CAPS can provide you with the same peace of
mind that they do for me.
Thank you for your interest in COMFY CAPS,
