Here is a link to the Aetna policy page. It explains some of the

measurements.

I am so interested! That is just fantastic! We are getting Colin's

scan tomorrow so I'll post his stats too. Thank you.

Crista,

I'm glad to see that received some good correction. Way to

go!!! I didn't think that cranial width could decrease either.

Maybe they were a little off in the beginning or end width

measurement. It's really hard to be accurate when your measuring in

mm. Maybe it did decrease! Either way his new measurements look

good.
