Guest guest Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Hi Hanna and welcome. I think in general people display some resistance to things they are not familiar with, especially when it comes to medical things, right? And, people sometimes have the need to blame someone for things when they do not go as planned. So, this may be one fo those cases for many of us. When our parents raised us, everything was a bit different. First, we did not sleep on our backs, therefore, there were not that many flat little heads around, right? And, if there were, back then people would not dare talk about it outside of the immediate family. Besides, there were not such things as the bands, so correction was left to nature. I did not notice my son's faltness until he was 2 months. I was too tired and too busy to notice, I guess. So my parents could not believe it and in one way or another they blamed me. So, to make it easier on everyone, I took the blame (for not noticing sooner), put that out in the open and asked everyone to stop talking about what happened and focus the energy and thinking on what to do to fix the problem. I educated them on the issue, showed them pictures from this website and soon they were all supportive about the band. They even helped me with some of the cost. At the end of the day, you, mommy, know what is best. Go with your heart because you are the one that sees your child's little head everyday. Repositioning has worked successfully for some people but the %'s are not high. Most of us have gone with the band after repositioning has stalled. Good luck with your decision and hang in there.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Carolina, thank you so much for the moral support. I am going to need it big time. As for " Mom knows best " , " you do not know best, you've already done the harm, now let the people, who are quite a bit smarter than you (meaning, of course, my parents themselves) to step in and you listen " , etc. I decided to not be discussing anything with my parents at all. They get scared and start blaming me both ways. This was not the first instance. We will do the helmet therapy for my daughter and I am not going to tell them, either. Too bad, that at a time like this I am not going to be able to rely on them and their support and understanding... :( Hanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 > On another subject - someone yesterday wrote about the importance of the list in their lives and how depressing the last few days had been. I wish to add my voice to that in a similarly positive way - this has been the most vitriolic of disagreements since I have been on this list (a couple of years) and while encouraging detente I would also point out that for many like me, this list is family - support, love and information. Legislation is critical to me and my sons and I understand why the arguments were so vehement ... on a brighter side it also made me value EOH group which appears to me to be as critical to me and my family. Seriously. _____________ Simon, You're comments reminded me of remarks you posted to this list a year ago. I hope you won't mind if I include them here. They are as relevant today as they were then. - " ...we are indeed a broad family and we sometimes argue amongst ourselves but woe betide anyone who takes our individuality for weakness. SP Rians Dad (who repeated iloveyou as one word yesterday and was rewarded with treats in abundance - unfortunately as it is often with him it was a one time only offer :-( " - I couldn't have said it better, Simon. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
