Hi, yep it's me. the group kicked me out for awhile.. haha, actually my

email was down for awhile and I think egroups automatically removes you

from the list if their email bounces. Don't know if I told you all that

we found out our twins are identical. we had a dna test done. I thought

for sure they were fraternal as most people can tell them apart or they

say "they look alike, but they don't".. leave it to me to have id's that

don't look alike.. thanks to the plagio/tort/facial assymetry. plus, my

plagio/tort guy is 4 lbs. bigger than his brother! they are 18 months

now and still not talking but plenty of screaming. diane

Hi, I tried 3 different specialists.. orthopaedist, neurologist, neurosurgeon,

and noone would give us a helmet. I think they don't do helmets at all

in the entire city of austin texas. there's no tightness left in his neck,

though he still does tilt sometimes. I guess habit or residual weakness.

I think at this point I am trying to accept andy as he is, which is fine,

but it is disturbing that he looks so different from his twin especially

knowing what he was "supposed" to look like. there really isn't a

second of the day when I look at him that this isn't in my mind and I'm

not comparing. I think that's the worst part of it all. diane
