Guest guest Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Howdy everyone, It's been a while since I have posted, that's because Jaden is rounding out well, and we are on the last lap. No clue when he'll be done w/ his band, hopefully by the end of this month. Gotta pray for some growth spurts. Today we walked to the post office, I had Jaden in his stroller. 2 neighbors of mine were also there and asking me what happened to him. So I dolled out his business card (see it under JADEN's file in the pics sections) and gave them both a short education about plagio. And these women didn't even hesitate to ask. Then today we went to the chiropractor. They have Jaden's business card posted there on an info board, and have other's to give out that ask. When we walk in for our appt the receptionist told me that WE had someone waiting to speak with US! I just about dropped my jaw! Here was an elderly couple sitting there after they had just received an adjustment, and they saw Jaden's card, and realized that their grandson has the same problem and wanted more info. So while I let my husband go in first for his adjustment (yes the whole family goes now and we feel great!) I am sitting there with Jaden on my lap speaking to this lady about plagio! It was truly amazing! She gave me her address and I am sending her an info packet in the mail along with a letter I wrote to her explaining more in depth about helmets and so forth. I am just elated that people are approaching me asking for more info. I just feel it's my job to educate people that ask and I just feel so good that I was able to help a few people today. Oh, and I forgot to mention, one of the neighbors that I saw at the post office is pregnant and said her 2 year old daughter has a little bit of a flat spot but her " hair hides it " . I can't wait for her to call me for repo info and I hope she visits this board to prevent plagio with her 2nd baby. She was excited to know there was help out there. Well, I just had to share that story. ~Amy, mommy to Jaden 8 mo's MN, plagio/mild tort/mild scoliosis, started CranioCap 4/23/04, started Chiro 6/29/04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Hi Amy, Great news about the chiro and you gettin the word out. I can't remember if I told you or not, but my friend goes to that Chiro - she started going there when they opened up not too long ago. She praises them as well. She wanted me to take Jax there, but I dont want to.. I've heard both good and bad things about chiros and Jax has enough problems to deal with. I also talked to someone on another board I belong to for Jax's brain cyst and they said it's not a good idea to take kids there if they have cysts... we'll see though. Glad to hear that Jaden is roundin out... finally some results! Hope you are well and you can always email....

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Hi Amy, We've had quite a few people contact us over the last year+ about Hannah as well, and you're right in that it feel great to be able to help. Thats actually one of the few negatives of graduation is that you have less opportunities to educate others. , mom to Hannah, DOCgrad Cape Cod, Ma --- In Plagiocephaly , " Amy in MN " <skisum88@h...> wrote: > Howdy everyone, > It's been a while since I have posted, that's because Jaden is > rounding out well, and we are on the last lap.
