Olivia,

That is fantastic news about Jordan's improvement!!! Very dramatic,

especially in one his age. I know you must be thrilled. I still

remember your story of being unable to pursue treatment until you

were in Switzerland, and then of not hearing back from all of the

doctors you emailed. What a wonderful result from all of your

persistence!! Did you think he had improved that much just from

looking at him before Dr. Blecher took the actual measurement?

I am looking forward to hearing additional rounding updates,

Take care,

Christie (Mom to Repo'd Remy)

Hi everyone

Thanks for your responses and supports on Jordan's progress. I sure

am glad I was persistent in finding help for my son, found this

board from a member of this group (thank you!) and decided to go

ahead with the helmet.

Christie, we have actualy noticed the improvement before we took

Jordan to see Dr. Blecher. Some of you might have remembered my pp

abt it, but we always thought it was because of the new haircut that

helped with the 'moulding'. Glad we were wrong:-) As mentioned

before, we didn't really expect to see significant improvement in

such a period of time and wanted to keep our expectation low. The

head does certainly look much better now from the back. The flat

side has grown a bit making the 'cone' head on the prominent side

less obvious. We hope to continue to see further improvement and

rounding tho' we don't really expect to see the same progress again

as Jordan's getting older, well..unless his head thinks differently:)

I will certainly keep everyone posted on further rounding!

Cheers

Olivia in Zurich

Jordan, GermanCranio 07/02/04 @12.5 mth old

PS: We also got a call back from one of the clinics in Zurich I've

contacted. That was after Jordan's on the helmet for 2 wks, i.e.

over a month after I made the query, just to have an appointment!

Glad Dr Blecher came to the rescue much quicker than that.
