Guest guest Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 Suzanne - CONGRATULATIONS! I decided to check in on the board before I got inundated with work this morning and I am so glad I did! It makes me soooo happy to hear your news. You have been so patient (really!) with this process and I am so happy that you are happy with the results. You have also been a great support to me and I want you to know how helpful that has been! Enjoy that round little head!!!! Way to grow !!!!!!! Debbie ( C's mom) --- In Plagiocephaly , " paquinsuzanne " <paquins@n...> wrote: > Everytime I think about it I want to cry (a happy cry).
