My son had a little pink that would go away that started on friday and it got worse. By monday morning it looked very dry. I guess he had a little break down. § ~ ~ § I'm The Lucky One ...-...»¤«...-..

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Zofia I'll have them check it maybe the edge is too thick as you said. I didn't notice it ever before but he has a lot of hair and I could have missed it. I believe if it's pink it's not a big problem? It's not red it's pink but I don't want it to get worse either or always be pink. My next appointment is not until next Mon. Sherry > > > > Chase had a pink spot tonight during his bathtime.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Sherry , That can happen sometimes, just remeber to use the one finger to close the velcro. I am also wondering whe he is due for his adjustment...maybe it's a growth spurt? I hope for the growth spurt,lol.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Sherry, If he sleeps in it tonight and it is ok in the morning then no worries, sometimes they get them and they just dissappear. If it is still there in the morning then time it fading again and call the ortho. They know that sometimes when changing to the two week schedule this can happen, it did with Dom, but then the next time we were fine for the two weeks. It helps them judge growth sometimes so they can make better adjustments for the two week span. CAROLG > > > > > > Chase had a pink spot tonight during his bathtime.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Sounds like he had a growth spurt - yipee - that happened a couple of times with na. She would be fine no pink and then boom there was pink. Luckily it coincided nicely with our weekly CT visit. na, DOC Grad Feb 04, Tort Resolved Kiersten, DOC Band 1/10/06, Tort www.thefilyaws.com --- In Plagiocephaly , " alwell_sherry " <type916@...> wrote: > > Chase had his pink spot last night and I don't know exactly what it's > from and it was not going away in 1 hour, actually it's not going away > at all now.
