Re: Requesting Your Opinion On Sydney's Head

March 1, 2006

Yeah, I got that, " it always rounds out " too. But MY problem is, if

plagio occurance is something like 1 in 60, then PED's, even busy

PED's, don't see it that often. For example...say your PED has 600

patients a year..that means she only see's about 10 cases,

statistically. I don't know, maybe I'm over analyizing, but I just

felt that if I could do a " sure thing " for my son instead of " waiting

to see " then I would.

Even my father(the Neurologist),who said that it would round out by

the age of 5yrs and " don't worry, " said that each case is different

and how much it will round depends on severity and the child. That's

the problem...it may or may not round out to you(or your

daughters)liking...it's just so subjective! We're in the Dallas, Tx

area and there is a great CT place here. But don't worry, CT hasn't

cornered the market on good orthotists! Good luck tomorrow and let me

know how it goes!
