Guest guest Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 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... > > > > > > > > Hello all, > > > > Well apparently I'm clueless as to what the measurements mean. > > Can > > > > anyone tell me what number measures the asymmetry of the head? > > > > Honestly, our orthotist acts like she wants the cephalic index > > at 95%, > > > > so I've thought all along the cephalic index measured asymmetry. > > My > > > > daughters has went from 82 to 85 while in the band.
