Re: question about head shape

[Guest guest]

Nikki,

You are not weird! We all obsess over our kids head shapes. As for

Connor's head shape, if it is becoming longer, it is probably

becoming more " normal. " If you are really concerned, call your

orthotist and make an appt.

Hi Nikki:

Not a weird question at all. You were concerned about Connor's band

fit a while back too weren't you?

Have you talked about your concerns w/your orthotist yet? If not,

please call her/him asap and address your concerns with her. Bands

that are not properly fit, can and do cause more harm than good, I'm

not saying this is Connor's case, but please address your concerns

w/your ortho asap.

Have you looked at any pictures you may have taken of him before

band and present? If not, I'd suggest doing so.

Please keep us posted.
