Guest guest Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 My daughter is now 8 months old. I noticed that she had a flat spot before she was even a month. Her doctor told me she would grow out of it. I'm sure you've all heard this before. She didn't and it got worse. Two doctors and 3 months later I finally found out what was happening on my own. She was diagnosed with severe brachy and a moderate case of plagio. Thanks to posts like this one I found out about repositional therapy and learned that my conserns were real. I found someone to make her a cranial band and after 2 months she's showing improvment. Her doctor thinks it's a torture device. I'm finding that there are far more children that suffer from this than the public is aware of. Since my daughter has been wearing her band people have approached me and asked me about it. Some have even told me that they wish they had known because they have children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, the list goes on. All have the same problem and it was never treated. This brings me to the reason for my post. Maybe it's a long shot, but perhaps if all the parents got together and wrote letters and sent pictures to someone like Oprah then maybe it would open the publics eyes. People need to be aware of the fact that this is a growing problem and doctors aren't treating it. So far there are 2 other people from the Older Plagio group that are willing to write leters. Please consider it. I look forward to any feed back you may have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
