Re: I swear, one ear looks WORSE now!

[Guest guest]

Hi :

You should definitely talk w/your clinician about your concerns.

They should have the head mold back in, so you should be able to

compare his head now vs at casting and get a pretty good picture of

progress & changes.

I hope it's not getting worse. Let us know what you find out.

Thanks! That is great advice to look at the mold. I didn't know

that would be available. I won't be able to see it tomorrow since we

are going to a different office (yes, near Chicago we have 2 CT's)

but I think I'll ask to see it at the next visit.

Hi ,

I second that. Please let us know what they say.

, I would address this with your clinician. It could appear

to be worse because of the route the correction is taking. I hope

your able to compare to the headsicle soon. Let us know how it goes

today.
