Guest guest Posted January 7, 2002 Report Share Posted January 7, 2002 Is anyone else having MAJOR trouble with emails???? I'm now up to about 392 messages, with about 20 more coming in every couple of minutes!! I'm getting about 5 repeats of each message. AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kendra Oh, I'm at 448 now, just in the amount of time it took me to write this! Re: help please.... However, now that he is straight, I am noticing some assymetry. (I really only noticed it when I held him in the mirror) His right ear (tort side) sticks out a bit and one cheek (left) seems a little bigger than the other. He does have mild plagio (both doctor and PT say it isn't bad and have had be doing repositioning techniques)... my question is: Does this assymetry correct itself as they grow and as they continue with a straightened head.....or do you think this is something that requires a helmet?? Hi :Assymetries are often the hardest effect of plagio for even a helmet/band to fully correct. My daughter graduated from her DOCband but still has slight assymetries, they definitely got better with the band, but are still noticeable to just me, especially in the mirror (darn mirrors!). The puffier cheek, smaller eye, those are effects of plagio, I first noticed my daughter's puffier cheek. You wonder if it will correct itself in time, that's a tough question. Something that you won't find out until Fishcer grows. Getting a band or helmet is ultimately your decision to make. If his case is mild, then definitely continue with the repositioning that you're currently doing. If you haven't noticed much improvement over the next couple mos or so, then you might want to consider a helmet or band. You might want your ped. to refer you to a pediatric neurosurgeon. The ped. neuro could evaluate Fischer and maybe give you some measurements on his assymetries (mine didn't though).Try not to worry too much about this. It sounds like you're a great mom. I'm so glad to hear his tort has improved so much. That's terrific. Give your ped. a call first thing Monday & see what he suggests.Please keep us updated on Fischer.Debbie Abby's mom DOCGradMIFor more plagio info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
