Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Thanks so much for your responses. I guess the moral of the story is don't get so caught up in numbers, measurements, and percentages. It's how you feel about your child's appearance, and the progress you feel he/she has made. It's funny how subjective it is - how some relatives will say everything is fine and others worry b/c they think it's so bad. Doctors differ so much, also. Despite 97% CI, an orthotist, PT, and neurosurgeon all felt that we would not be at fault if we decided to not do the helmet. All felt she would have a good chance of rounding out on her own. To me, I just don't feel it's worth taking a chance at this point. As someone else posted, you have to consider if you are happy with the way it appears now (in case improvement never occurs). I'd have to say I would not be happy if it did not change at all. Anyway, thanks for letting me know that it is possible to see significant improvement in severe brachy in a relatively short amount of time. Symborski Media Specialist stacy_holcombe@...
