Re: -added todays scan pics!!!!

[Guest guest]

Hi Bobbie

Go back to the pictures you have posted and look at the one where

you can really see her forehead. There is a big difference between

the left and the right side. With mild plagio you really have to

look, but with moderate you just see it. I think that is how we are

gauging this. I can tell without having to look a second time that

the forehead bossing is still moderate in my eyes as well.

Sorry if this is not what you want to hear.
