Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 All of your info is very helpful, thanks for taking the time to fill me in. Tonight I started crying because I feel guilty about my daughter's plagio and I feel like it's my fault for not knowing more about the potential for this. I am exhausted because since I discovered it, I try not to put her down much at all during the day, so I am not getting much done. Oh well, I am trying to be grateful that I have a beautiful, healthy baby. I am just mad that there wasn't more awareness about plagio. I am anxious to get the ball rolling and have her evaluated. Thanks for listening.... Maggie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Maggie, You are FAR from alone. I think all of us have gone through a period when we were so angry that our peds seem to lack knowledge on this. Personally, I feel that this should be discussed before you are allowed to leave the hospital. I have 2 little girls and I never knew this existed until it happened to my second daughter. The best thing you can do is to become an informer. I have told all of my pregnant friends about it so that maybe they'll have the chance to be more educated than I was. Good luck and don't feel guilty. This is obviously a common problem as it has occurred with all of us. You're a great mom or you wouldn't be working so hard to correct this for your daughter! Good Luck! Sam--Mom of Nikki (8 months) STARband Eliana (4 y/o) Thanks Lorie, and too... All of your info is very helpful, thanks for taking the time to fill me in.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Please do not feel guilty. Jenna was my 3rd baby and I had never heard of plagio. With my youngest I was aware and she still had some mild brachy. I was able to repo her but only because I knew to watch for it after jenna. Angie Thanks Lorie, and too...

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I'm so glad we could help. I know exactly how you feel, and this group helped me so much. I just wish I had found this board a year ago when I was first going through the tort/PT/flat spot/neuro issues. I would have done so many things differently. But I just had no idea and trusted what the doctors were telling me (that it would round out as he grew). In January, I basically had a meltdown (cried for a week) over the whole thing and insisted we try banding, even though it was kind of late. I just felt like I would hate myself forever if I didn't at least try to do something about it. And I'm so glad we did. We are seeing correction, and I just know we did the right thing. I think I'll still always feel guilty though for not pushing for a band a year ago, when he was younger and it would have been more beneficial. But I'll try to focus on the fact that I eventually got my way and did the best thing for my son, and be happy with that.
