Re: Measurement meaning???

December 15, 2006

Thanks for the info. I'm going to study up tomorrow (after I calm

down) so that I understand these things. In the meantime, should I

take the band off my daughter? Should I be FREAKING OUT? She never

had brachy before, and now it appears that she does since her

cephalic index went from 83 to 85!!!!!!! HELP!

I'm not kidding when I say our ortho seems to want this number

elevated. I got a copy of her records, and I watched as she wrote

the cephalic index after her measurements. She even elevated it to

86 so that I would feel better about her progress. (even though the

equation clearly equals 85) Isn't that weird?
