RE: [was Re: scaphiocephalic head shape]

[Guest guest]

Hi !

Quinn also had that head shape, and that band -- although his was an in-utero constriction (breech) which caused it, not craniosynostosis. His picture is in head shapes (Quin) and HKali. He is also a graduate -- though in the 4 months that we were in the band he only gained 2 lbs.... (from 6 1/2 to 10 1/2 months) so there wasn't a lot of correction -- but we got our "slope" (there was none), and the recessed areas by his eyes improved, along with more rounding overall. When I came to this board last February no one else had even heard of scaphocephalic shape.... at least with this board there are now many different parents who can lend support!

Although she had cranio (sagittal) and had surgery (in october 2000) to repair that. Her plastic surgeon pescribed the DOC Band for followup treatment. Her band did not have the velcro strap - it was two pieces that came together on top and on each side (above the ears) that was actually held together by rubber bands. In the 4 months that weve been going to Cranial Tech (Atlanta office) I have not yet seen another Band like Millie wears. Actually, she is now a Graduate! Anyway, if anyone has questions, you can contact me direct! Also, there are pictures of Millie in her band in the files section.Mt.
