Guest guest Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Hi Everyone, Wow... there really is a group for EVERYTHING! My name is Faye and I am mom to an amazing 14 month old little girl named Camille who we adopted from China this past summer. Camille came to us with a shaved head which is flat in the back on the right side. I wasn't too concerned about it and figured it wouldn't be noticable once her hair grew in. I have noticed over the past several weeks that her hair growth has made the flat spot more noticable and I even had a woman in the grocery store ask me what happened to her head. Through internet research, I found out about positional plagiocephaly, and I finally was able to get an appointment with a doctor at Children's hospital for a consultation. I am still new at this and learning a lot. Our appointment is not until November 23, which seems like a long time from now. One of my major questions is, how old is too old for a child to be treated without surgery? We were told Camille was born in August 2004, but my pediactrician has her doubts and thinks Camille may actually be younger. Thanks in advance for your advice and expertise.
