Hi Kel,

Absolutely. You can see the rounding in the back and the height (I

call it conehead on my son) of the flattening is less pronounced.

Keep up the good work!

Keep in mind every child is different so I doubt anybody can tell you

when exactly to expect results. I've only been repoing for three

weeks now and sometimes it looks better other times it looks worse on

my son. It can drive you nuts staring at it all the time.

Post more pictures soon!

Kel,

Great job with the repoing! It must be nice to see some results!

It sounds like your ped is very on top of things, which is great. I

hope the neuro is plagio educated and can give you some good

insight/advice. Let us know how the appt goes.

It is so refreshing to hear of a ped that acknowledges plagio and

doesn't play it off! Progress is being made hopefully in the medical

community!!
