Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Hi Sherry, Let us know what your ped says tomorrow. I've never heard of plagio or tort doing anything to a baby's eyelid. My son uses to fall asleep with his eyes partially opened. Freaked me out!! lol Their time banded does fly by. :-) It's great that Chase is growing so much. > > Chase seems to be having an eyelid issue.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Hi I'm probably being a bit paranoid but his 1 eyelid is definitely a little off. I guess it it were both I'd not worry but it's only 1. I think we plagio moms are so used to looking out for stuff we over analyze sometimes. I try not to worry until I'm sure it exists (ha ha ha) For some reason I can never get on the chat and I read alot of others with the same problem. Is it just my computer I think I have Windows XP Sherry > > Hi Sherry, > Let us know what your ped says tomorrow. I've never heard of plagio or > tort doing anything to a baby's eyelid.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Hi Sherry I have the same eye issue with my baby, it was one of the first things we noticed. In our case it seems like the bump on one side of his head makes his eye open wider, and when he shuts them it stays a little more open than the other (sometimes) The opposite eye seemed to always be irritated when he was first born, it's gotten a little better. I hope that after banding him his eyes even out a little so it's not too noticeable. Let us know what your ped says about it, I'd be interested to hear an explanation.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Tulip with Chase it is on the forehead " bump " side too. I don't know how long it's been like that though but his plagio. has been moderate to severe since Dec. and he's had his bad 5 weeks now. I'll definitely keep an eye on it. Maybe I'll mention it to CT too. Maybe they've seen it before too. I have doubts that the doctor will know what it is but I'll be optimistic. If it's related to plagio. she'll definately not know.
