HI Cerstin- I remember your story- I'm really glad that you got

things sorted with Dr Blecher- he's incredibly good I think. I told

another mum at playgroup about him as her little boy had plagio and

he spent a long time emailing her and studying photos etc- in the

end they came to the joint decision not to get him a helmet as they

both felt it wasn't severe enough- but she was also singing his

praises.

Hope Sqidgy is adjusting well- also funny you bumped into another

little one in the supermarket- did he have a STARband on? (different

to Dr Blecher's helmet)If so, it might have been Max, whose parents

Shelia and posted her a few weeks ago worried about him not

sleeping with the helmet on. What a small world fi it was!

Keep us in touch with his progess- good to hear from you. my

daughter Lucia is doing really well-I'm delighted with the change in

her headshape, in fact although it is not perfect after 6 weeks of

treatment (about 1cm asymmetry to go), if it stayed like that I

would be happy- she just looks normal now and you can hardly see the

plagio at all unless you really go looking)Dr Blecher thinks it will

be 100% corrected, though, so onwards.....

I just love that nickname - Squishy : )

I'm so happy to hear that everything is off to a good start. We

always hear great things about Dr. Blecher. Please keep us posted on

Squishy's progress.

Squishy - so funny! He is on his way to rounding. I'm glad that it

all went well and you found some plagio-buddies. Best wishes for

continued success. Jeorg sounds great!

Hi Cerstin,

Squishy is in great hands. It will be over before you know it, and

speaking from experience: it will be hard to remember how bad the

plagio was when you started.
