Re: -added todays scan pics!!!!

[Guest guest]

Bobbi,

At her age she should definitely see more correction! From looking at

the pictures you have post of her, with her forehead asymmetry the way

it looks now, yes in my opinion she looks moderate to me. I'm sorry if

that's not what you want to hear, I'm just giving you my opinion.

You don't need glasses and you're not stupid. Some people have an eye

for plagio and some don't. No one in my family saw my dd's plagio

except me and my oldest dd. She has an eye for plagio, she can spot it

from a mile away. I would try to get her into a regular STARband, it

can't hurt, right? It could give you more correction, you just don't know.

My daughter was banded for about 10 months. She was banded at

almost 11.5 months old. She had moderate plagio w/forehead bossing,

eye and ear asymmetry. She also had tort, she went to PT for 3 months.

She's in the before and after DOCbands section in the photos section.
