Guest guest Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 I took to a craniofacial surgeon yesterday for a 2nd opinion on her plagio and LOVED him! We talked for a while and he took pictures and said that since she is only 4 Months, he would like to have me continue to try to repo her (along with the PT for her tort) for 6 weeks and then go back for a follow-up. I take her back on Jan 19th. We will compare her head pics to her head then and get the banding process started if we don't see enough improvement. I'm so happy I got a 2nd opinion! Thanks to those of you who gave your opinion on 's head pics. Jen Mom to V Plagio and tort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Who-hoo that is awsome news. I am glad that you were able to find a doctor that you liked and so early in the game that you will have plenty of time to make decisions and such. mom to S.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Jen, good news! I think this sounds great and will work out well. Did you check out 's pics in the albumns? He looks so cute in his helmet (my opinion of course) and doesn't seem bothered by it at all. One week down!

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Hi Jen, Thats great! I wish you the best of success w/the repo over the next month. You may want to consider getting a Bumbo Seat if you don't already have one. That should help a good deal at her age. Please be sure to let us know how the followup appt goes. , mom to Hannah, DOCgrad Cape Cod, Ma --- In Plagiocephaly , " Jen " <ronandjenvelez@p...> wrote: > > I took to a craniofacial surgeon yesterday for a 2nd opinion on > her plagio and LOVED him!
