Re: Measurement meaning???

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Sigh of relief, we found out that the manual measurements our ortho

(or subsitute ortho) was taking were completely wrong. My daughter's

head has improved and her cephalic index is actually 80 according to

the new scan.

I think now I mostly concerned about her facial asymmetry, and

realize now that it is all tort related. She did get a new band free

of charge. I ended up calling corporate to ask questions, and must

have talked to the right person. However, now I'm sure our Denver

orthotist is furious with me for calling and raising any " red flags "

about her. Her new band is from Chicago, and now I'm torn about

whether to travel (given the helmet she previously had made positive

changes) Of course, I don't know if I could go back to our Denver

ortho if I even wanted to! She might not take us back!

Will you refresh my memory, did your child have torticollis as well?

Hope you had a wonderful trip and great holiday.
