Re: Aidans head looks square...

[Guest guest]

Can you post a pic of what you are seeing? Sometimes on the way to

rounding the head can look very odd,lol. Refresh my memory, did Aidan

have brachy? I could see that a brachy head might get a bit of a

squarish look as it was rounding out because I think square would

mean closer to a more normal shape for brachy, instead of wider at

the back. It's early did that make sense,lol?

No we didn't experience that either time. Some parents think it

looks lumpy as it's improving, but I've never heard of it looking

square.

Do you think the band is causing him to have brachycephaly (flat

across the back)? Is that what you mean?

OH I am sorry, I see that Aidan has plagio not brachy, I am so tired

this morning I didn't even think about your signature at the bottom

until after I replied to you......DUH! I have been up with the kids

way too long,lol. Can you post a pic, because I don't see why from

plagio to rounding there should be a squaring off. Maybe a bit with

brachy, but not from right sided plagio. It is hard sometimes to put

what you are seeing into written word, so a pic would help alot.

Again sorry for the confusion.

I definitely see what you mean. His head does look blocky and his

head height has increased as well. Have you see a change like this in

his face? Is his forehead taller now? The pictures are at different

angles so perhaps that is adding to the effect.

You go to NOPCO, right?

My ds had right sided plagio just like Aidan, but Dane's was more

severe. You can see his before and after pictures in the DOC Band

folder on the site. Since they are small it's kind of hard to see.

If you want to see the larger pictures just drop me a line and I can

email them to you. Dane's head never looked square or taller during

the course of treatment.

My daughter Willow's head also looks sqare. I think that the helmet

tx did this. It wasn't before, and then during tx and after. Now I

guess I " m just used to her boxy looking head. It's still much better

than her plagio was though. I'm sorry I can't say more positive

things about it, or that it will go away. It's something you will

have to wait out
