Re: update on kathryn/Thank You

[Guest guest]

Thats great ! You must be SO happy! Have you been taking

progress pictures of ? I'd love to see them if you have.

Many of our babies here are a plagio/brachy combo. I think the

plagio just tends to take the front seat b/c of the assymetry

associated w/it.

,

That's great that 's improvement was so noticeable to the

therapist! I'm thrilled that you all have seen such great

correction in so many areas, that is wonderful!

I just wanted to post that Remy had plagio/brachy... she was flat

all across the back at birth, and then developed plagio on one side

of the back of her head. You can look at her 5 month progress photo

before we started repo to see what I am describing (photos/before

and after/repositioned.) Basically, Remy had a brachy cephalic

ration of about 1.00, and also some cranial vault asymmetry on the

back right side of her head. Having her head correct to being more

symmetrical was a big overall improvement, and we also did realize a

big improvement in her cephalic ratio as well.

Please keep us posted on 's progress, I'd love to hear about

it as you go in for adjustments, etc.

Take care,

Christie (Mom to Repo'd Remy)
