Re: New here w/Repoing Q's

August 27, 2003

Hi there and welcome to the group!!! Sounds like your doing a

great job of repoing thus far. I hope to be able to add you to my

list of repo success'. The list is very short, but hope to grow by

leaps and bounds. gave you some great links and I'm sure

Christie will chime in here and help out with her repo success. I

can't help you on repoing as my daughter had to be banded because of

severity. Glad you have found us.

photo section. The plastic surg has been keeping an eye on the plagio

since Dane was 3 mths; even though we started repoing around 2 mths.

The plastic surg wants us to continue repoing for another month

before considering a helmet. Dane is now 4 months old. I want to be

sure I'm doing all the right repoing things. I would love to hear

from someone that had repoing success, because I have the following

questions:

> (Dane's left side is flattened, slopes on top and his ears are

misaligned)

> 1) Our PT and dr. told us to rotate the side Dane sleeps on each

time he sleeps. ? I have been rotating him for 2 months, except for

his night sleep (10 hrs) I always put him on his rounder side.

Wouldn't it be better to always sleep him off of his flat side...at

least for the next month?

> 2) The back of Dane's head isn't flat. ?Is it still really

important that I keep him off of the back of his head? As long as I

have his head at mid-line (for his tort), I don't understand why he

should be off the back of his head.
