Guest guest Posted January 23, 2002 Report Share Posted January 23, 2002 Anne - I used to live in Edmonton and her ped there first told us it would round out - we have sinced moved to Grande Prairie, and 3 different docs have told us the smae thing. I saw Dr. Aronyk (the neuro sugeon) when she was born as she had a fractured skull on the same side as the plagio (co-incidence??) and had to fight with my ped to get me a referal to see him again. THe ped up here told me - well we wait until they are 2 to see what happens and that helmets dont work - I was so mad - then he told me Dr. Aronyk would say the same thing - when I know for A FACT that Dr. Aronyk supports helmet therapy. Oh well - we are headed to Edmonton on Saturday to see him on Monday - staying with my mom for the week. I truely hope we dont have to have surgery - but I think it is too late for helmet therapy -candice in Canada > , > > I am soo sorry that your DR.s were so miss informed about plagio. because Kayleigh is 19 months, > are they going to do surgery to try and un flatten her head?

I would have to say her plagio (from what I can see in the pics) is maybe inbetween moderate > and severe.
