Major concerns with ortho

[Guest guest]

, I am concerned about not only that comment the ortho made

but several other things as well. We go to Pitt County Memorial

Hospital Regional Rehab Center for treatment. It's in Greenville,

NC. They have been very nice/plesant there. Very friendly and

does look to be making progress. But his front to back cross

measurements show that both the prominent and flat spots have grown

equally and that can't be. I can see a difference! I just think the

measurements are innaccurate. There are nine holes drilled into the

back of the helmet and they stick (honest to god) the end of a pencil

in each hole each time we go. They then measure if the edge of the

helmet is closer or farther away from his head in each. A freakin

pencil for crying out loud!! I'm like, where are we? And at least

they were using a new pencil (they put the eraser end in the holes),

but last week he used a different pencil that clearly had been used

many times. What the heck!!? Has anybody ever heard of this? I'm

going nuts!
