Guest guest Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 , I have to try and look for my dig cameras cable to hook to my pc - I haven't ever attempted to learn how to get the pics from my camera to the computer - I'm a bit pc slow. I looked everywhere I could think of yesterday and now I'm just crabby that I don't know where I put it. Ugh. I acutally think his head shape is now mild plagio - he came from severe. I know it's much much better than it was, it just isn't where I wanted it to be. Everyone that I talk to (family) agree that his head shape may not be perfect but it's much better. They all seemed so happy for it to be gone. Maybe after a couple of days w/o it I will not see it as so bad. Kim > > Hey all, > > After 4 months and 5 days, Jax graduated today.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Kim, Cranial Tech will give you a free evaluation. If Jax is too mild to band they'll tell you. A baby has to have a certain degree of plagio for an active band to work. Are you near a Cranial Tech office? I hope you don't think I'm being pushy, I just think that Jax is still young enough to receive great correction from an active band. How do you think you're going to feel about his head shape when he is a teenager if he doesn't receive anymore correction? > > > Hey all, > > > After 4 months and 5 days, Jax graduated today.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Hi , Nope, I don't think you're being push at all, in fact, I appreciate what you're saying. I don't think there is a Cranial Tech around us, I will go check out their website now and see. I'm in MN... I agree with thinking ahead when he's a teenager (UGH but i hate the thought, if he's anything like his dad was, I'm in trouble!!). I'll go look now and see where the closest one is.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Kim, I too checked the Cranial Tech site, they have 2 locations is Wisconsin? Is it possible for you to travel? You can always look into Angel flights too. It stinks b/c it's now or never! Even if you just go to CT for the free evaluation, you never know they may just say he IS too mild to band. You won't know unless you try. If you're interested in Angel Flights here is the URL: http://www.aircareall.org/ The traveling does suck, I had to travel from NY to NJ for 's DOCband treatment. I hated the traveling (I was pregnant at the time) but it was sooo worth it. I know what you're saying, one of my sons will be 10 in May and he's already selfconscience b/c he has a cowlick in his hair!! I HAVE to keep his hair really short, if not you can see his cowlick and it really upsets him. > > > > > Hey all, > > > > > After 4 months and 5 days, Jax graduated today.
