Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Hi, we are in a similar range with brachy being the main issue. We started at 96.3 and are at 94.9 after 3 weeks. My son's head has grown 3/8 of an inch in this time period and the flatness looks a lot better. However, I was told that we needed 3/4 inch growth for correction, and we have half the growth but very little correction on the brachy. Any thoughts? yesterday went well.
