Re: Measurement meaning???

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Don't worry, you haven't freaked me out. I actually have the sheet

with the measurements on it, and the numbers 82 to 85 are listed

under the cephalic index. So, her cephalic index has gotten worse.

I've been e-mailing an ortho at Children's memorial hosp in chicago

and she confirmed it. So, this weekend the helmet is off. I really

don't understand why they acted like they wanted the number to go

up...

Thank God we're going to Chicago for the holidays. She has an appt

at the Hanger there to get another opinion. I'll be taking her to

CHildren's memorial too (starband) . Now I'm quite positive I want

to have her get a new helmet and a new ortho. I feel like I've

exhausted all the options in Colorado. I feel terrible for making

the poor little thing's head worse!!! UGH!

I don't know how we're gonna swing the trips to IL...
