Plagio Awareness Idea

[Guest guest]

This is something I posted on the cranio group, and thougt some plagio

moms might be interested in it.

We're always looking for ways to raise awareness for cranio (and

plagio). If the family of a newly disagnosed child would contact The

Learning Channel, they could possibly have a huge part in raising

awareness. I know lots of people who watch TLC all day. Just think

of the moms who might see this program and say " Hmmmm, maybe that's

what wrong with my babies head! " Then, at least they'd have a name of

the condition. That would provide them a starting place at least. So,

any takers????? I realize it might take months to acutally get onto

the show, but some babies are diagnosed very early and then have to

wait months for the surgery date to arrive. Same deal with plagio....

in some cases the child may be diagnosed, but due to insurance battles

etc, it takes a while to actually get the band/helmet. I think this

is a doable thing.... What do yall think?

This is what TLC says about the show, A Personal Story - The newest

addition to TLC's daytime block, A Personal Story, tells the stories

of people who are undergoing corrective and reconstructive surgery.

While these procedures don't save lives, they often change them

dramatically. Patients and their loved ones explain the reasons

they've decided to go through with corrective surgery, and how they

hope it will improve their well-being, health, and at the same time,

their self-image. If you're interested, go to the TLC webiste and

check out the application process. There a a jillion release forms to

be signed and it looks like a tedious process, but it might be worth

it. I think I would have tried this, had I known about it when Millie

had surgery.

That's it from me!
