Re: Intro - DSi Today

[Guest guest]

Amy,

Our daughter's sound so much alike! We are going today for our DSi scan and am

I still wondering if we are doing the right thing. Adelyn is 4.5 mo old w/

brachy and mild right plagio. Since doing repo for the last 3.5 weeks, we have

noticed a great difference in her brachy. All of our friends/family say that

they don't really see the need for a band now. Another pediatrician even told

us that he would only consider it a mild case now. My husband and I can still

see some flatness when she holds her head a certain way. So, we've decided that

we would rather go ahead w/ the band, then regret not doing it later on.

Maybe we'll run into each other one day at CT. We are heading out the door now

to go to Charlotte.

Adelyn (her pix are posted under " M " )

Also, the numbers we were given for brachy were:

Ear Asym 5mm

Cranial Vault 8mm

Cephalic Ratio 94%
