Thanks for making me feel welcome

[Guest guest]

Thanks so much for making me feel so welcome. It feels great to

finally be able to communicate with people who understand. Anne,

thanks so much for taking the time to share your knowledge, I really

appreciate it.

, I read in your post how common it is for doctors to be

unsupportive. That was definitely our experience! Our doctor was no

help. Everthing I have learned about plagiocephaly has been online.

I first noticed 's problem when he was about 3 months old. His

doctor just kept telling me not to worry, and that his head would

round back out in time. Right now he is 6 1/2 months old, and I

FINALLY got smart and started looking into the problem for myself.

It is frustrating that we could have addressed the situation much

earlier if our doctor had given us better advice. (Even if she didn't

advise us to see a specialist right away, at the very least, I think

she should have recommended aggressive re-positioning) Thank

goodness we became aware of our options while there still are some!!

has an appt. with a craniofacial surgeon on Feb. 11th and I'm

very anxious to go and get him checked out. I'm anticipating that I

will have many questions after that appt. so plan on hearing a lot

from me around that time. Until then I will probably be mostly

reading other people's posts trying to learn all that I can. Again,

thanks for making me feel so welcome.

sure you let us know how it goes. You might want to check out this

Unfortunatley, it is very common for Drs to be so laid back when it

comes to plagio. It's very sad & frustrating for us parents. But

you're a terrific mom who was able to find the help on your own for

your son - good job!

Keep us updated with everything!
