Guest guest Posted April 30, 2000 Report Share Posted April 30, 2000 Hi ! With Grace, her "flat spot" was the first thing to start rounding out. her ears are doing well too. The facial asymmetry seems to be slow to even up, and that's frustrating. I've heard from others that the ears are the last to go, but I guess Grace just had to be difficult!

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2000 Report Share Posted April 30, 2000 Hi - is SO adorable! I can see the facial asymmetry more than a flat spot. Am I imagining things? Are you going to post those pics in the Files section?????

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2000 Report Share Posted April 30, 2000 Hi , is slightly more foreward on the right side. It seems to be correcting slowly. Our doctor at 8 months said that the assymetry was "very obvious" and that was when he referred us to the pediatrician. But I took him last week and he said that looking at him from the front he can't notice it as much as before. I wish he wasn't away when I first noticed the plagio, because I believe that if he was there that I wouldn't have been brushed off with "nobody's perfectly symmetrical" (that's what the locum said) and the ball would have been rolling at 4 months rather than 7 months. I guess everyone has a similar story. But I am really happy now that our family doctor is working with us. He is very interested in the information I have and has been in contact with other doctors re: treatment. He has never brushed us off and has always been supportive and understanding. We actually feel like we are working together. Isn't that a surprise! ----- Original Message ----- From: C.
