Re: Is the helmet the ONLY way and can you look at some pics of her head??

[Guest guest]

Bobbi,

It can be really frustrating when you can plainly see it and others

are telling you they don't. Add to that doctors who just don't see it

as a big deal and it's maddening. I had people tell me all the time

that they didn't see a problem with Dominick's head and he had 23mm

of asymmetry, his head looked like a sideways bike helmet for God's

sake and they couldn't see it,lol. Sometimes it's just nice to get on

here and have others see what you are seeing, even if you wish it

wasn't there.

My first boy was such a demanding infant...reflux,double hernias, and

just a needy baby, then my next boy and my girl were not too bad and

I was really thinking it must get easier with each kid...how stupid

was I,LMAO? Then came Dominick, who has decided his mission in life

is to let me know that I don't know everything about being a mom! I

swear by the time he starts school, I'll just need to sleep for like

a year straight,LOL.
