Welcome to the group. There are others in this group that go to

Charlotte I am pretty sure. This is not your fault. I understand

that you feel guilty. Your ped should have been more informed. We

had the same problem. Our son had his doc band from 14 to 18 months

and we saw great improvements. 10.5 months is not too late. You

will be in good hands at Cranial Tech.

Hi Jane,

Welcome to the group! We have had many members use the CT in

Charlotte. You're in excellent hands with them.

Sadly, a lot of pediatricians aren't educated about plagio and just

dismiss our concerns. You are in no way responsible for your son's

plagio. How could you have prevented a condition you knew nothing

about? Parents need to be educated about plaigo in order to prevent

it from happening. Not all cases of plagio are preventable though.

You're getting him treatment and that's all that matters, right? :-)

Has your son been casted yet? Keep us posted.

Jane:

Our son recently graduated from a DOC band for plagio/brachy, but I

am mostly lurking here as we pursue our insurance battle and

continue to monitor him.

We had him treated in Charlotte and also our older son assessed 4

years ago by CT (although we chose not to band that son). To some

degree, all three of our children have had weird heads. Even

knowing about plagio and having a fully supportive ped, we couldn't

prevent our youngest son from needing a band. It is too bad your

doctor did not support you more, but don't beat yourself up too

much. I am not excusing your doctor, just pointing out that

sometimes even with the right knowledge it might not be preventable.

Feel free to email me if you have any questions. Good luck.

Thank you for your kind comments. I do wish I had

been better informed and apparently my ped wasn't

either.

hasn't been casted yet. We are waiting on the

insurance and will begin treatment as soon as

possible.

Thank you for your reply.

I now understand some cases aren't preventable. I

inquired at each well check appointment about his

head. In hindsight I wasn't being supported. If you

don't mind me asking- Who was your son's therapist?

Were you pleased with the results?

Welcome Jane!

My daughter recently graduated from her DOC Band. You can still get

good correction at your son's age. My daughter didn't start wearing

her band until she was 11 1/2 months old. While we didn't get the

level of correction we were hoping for, we comfort ourselves with

knowing that we did the best we could -- when I found this board

and finally realized there was treatment. My daughter's first

pediatrician noticed the flat spot and suggested repostioning but

didn't offer any real help with tummy time, etc. (He said, " let her

cry " but she would cry herself to sleep on the boppy) Then he said her

head won't round out but since she's a girl she'll have long hair and

it will cover the flatness. Well, she got facial assymetry along with

it and that couldn't be covered. Pediatrician #2 said it would round

out! So long story short, the pediatricians are not keeping up to

date. I had preterm labor + vacuum assist so dd's plagio/brachy

probably wasn't a preventable case, but I could have started banding

at 4-5 months if only I had known...

Many of us suffer with the guilt even though we know we didn't cause

this problem. Try to cheer up knowing that you are definitely not

alone and will be well supported on this site.

My daughter was a low-severe brachy & moderate plagio. By the

measurements her headshape upgraded to low/moderate overall.

Good luck!

Jane,

Hello and welcome to the group! First of all please do NOT blame

yourself at all. You, like so many other first time parents, myself

included, were not made aware of the possibility of plagio or

brachy. It is so sad that the continuously tell us the importance of

back sleeping BUT they fail to tell us new parents about plagio. So

again don't blame yourself. You know about it now and you are doing

something about it and that is the best you can do. Please keep us

posted on how is doing.

Welcome to the group .

I think you will find a bunch of folk here who really understand what you are

going through. It does take a while to process it all and it can seem

overwhelming at first. You have come to the right place for guidance and advice

and to talk to people who've been there and who are still living with this

daily. It sounds like you love your little man terribly and he's lucky to have

a mommy who cares so much about him.

so that I had to come home from work this morning after nearly

passing out, and I just don't know what to do. My lovley boy had a

Welcome Lynn! No apologies for writing ever and NO, nobody is boring for

writing. That’s what we do here! Make yourself at home!

On a funny note, I would love to see my own daughter in pink for a change.

She is 14 and only wears black. You can imagine how sick I am of black!

Hello Everyone. My name is Lynn I'm 35 years old mother of two Kids

Tre who is 15 and Lauryn who is 7. Lauryn was dx'ed with AS at age of

6. She is bright little girl. and inspite of everything she has

overcome so much. I knew something was wrong with her when she was 6

months old. she made no sound. no blabbing .. nothing I talked to

her doctor and her told me not to worry. by the time she was 1 years

old no verbal sounds but blabbing. The doctor still was not worried.

But I went ovr his head and paid for a speech elev. the findings were

major speech dely, at 14 months she started speech ther. she improved

so well she was able to go to an special ed class where she took off.

After that she was able to go to reg pre-k class. where a new set of

problems set in. Her meltdowns, Her obes. with pink, (she wore

nothing but pink for almost 2 years) She she was tested for ADHD by

the school and my own personal Psych doctor. When the test show no

ADD or ADHD, we went to AS as an possible. But We waited till she was

older. 2 years later and 1st grade we got the dx'ed of AS. we were

parpared for this. But with working with her teachers both reg and

special ed, She learned coping skills, some social skills. But I'm

pround to say we start school Aug 7 and Lauryn will be in Reg ed

classes all day. She still see her Psych doc. (she also has OCD) but

we are doing ok...

Sorry I hope I did not bore you guys.. I hope to meet and speak with

you all soon,

Wow, I wouldn't think anyone would be upset about pink. That seems

fairly innocuous. My son insisted on wearing footy pjs every second

of every day for years. That was troublesome. You'd think by

comparison her teachers would be happy she was wearing clothign at all

even if it was always pink. :-)

WHOA!!!! OK FYI I am a 27 yrs old woman with Asperger's diagnosed 7 months

ago. I LOVE PINK!!!!! I do wear other colors but pink is a main color in my

wardrobe. I also like everything pink from purses to pens to painted pink

walls in my bedroom and I'm 27!!!!!!! I even have a pink leather bomber

style jacket that did cost me a BF (he hated pink and told me this right

after I used up all my disposable income to buy a pink leather bomber style

jacket I kept the jacket and lost him) but soooooo worth it. I don't care

what others think it's their problem. I don't have melt downs though when

unable to wear pink (like my work uniform is green) or see pink (not much

pink at work) it just comforts me when I can see and wear it but I don't

always have to see it/wear it to avoid meltdowns. Anyway I'm here if you and

or your daughter need to talk to someone with AS and with a semi pink

obsession. ----Nikki Lynn
