The Austin, Tx docs we've seen...

[Guest guest]

Hi, yes of course! The doctors I've tried are Dr. (orthopaedist)

whose own daughter had plagiocephaly without torticollis, and they didn't

treat her. he says she's 3 now and "fine". It caused great stress for his

wife, however, as he puts it. He is optimistic andy will outgrow his assymetries.

Dr. Ghodsi (neurologist) thinks Andy's assymetries, head and face, were

all done in utero and will never change, except maybe his head over many

many years OR his hair will grow to cover up the flat side. Dr.

(neurosurgeon) thinks it's positional plagiocephaly and Andy should have

been repositioned since birth and since he wasn't, then it's too late to

help him. And angrily added that the DOC bands are franchised like mcdonald's

so he couldn't hlep me if he wanted to, and that Andy is too old for a

helmet (he's 18 months) even if he did helmets. Seems he really only sees

and deals with cs kids and could only offer us a ct scan to make sure Andy

doesn't have that going on, though he said from his ear positioning and

facial assymetry it doesn't appear to be cs, so we forwent the ct scan.

any opinons on that? thanks always,, diane, nick and andy.
