Guest guest Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 Hi Molly & welcome to our group! We're glad to have you with us! Are you in St. Louis MO? I know there is a St. Louis IL member with our group, but I'm assuming you're in MO.. St. Louis probably isn't any where near Kansas City MO by chance is it? I'm in MI so I have NO clue!! We just had another new group member from KC so that's why I'm asking. There's also a Cranial Technologies Clinic in Kansas City MO, they make the DOCband to treat plagio babies. You can visit Cranial Tech's webpage at www.cranialtech.net. Has your pediatrician mentioned anything to you about plagio or have you found out this info on your own? If your ped. has diagnosed it, what did he/she suggest? Many of our plagio babies were referred to a specialist for an evaluation by them, usually a pediatric neurosurgeon. From there, the specialist will suggest a band or helmet or nothing at all. My daughter also always slept on her right side only! No matter what we tried to do, she always slept on her right. I hate to cut this short, by my daughter is demanding me to get " up " amd play with her. Check out this webpage for great repositioning tips & other great plagio information. http://www.plagiocephaly.org/support I hope to hear back from you & I hope there are some group members in your area.!

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2002 Report Share Posted May 5, 2002 Hey Molly! I see you took my advice and joined over here! Do you have any pictures of Yael's head? You might also want to compare her to some of the heads in the photos section. > I'm looking for someone in St. Louis....I'm not sure if my dd has > plagio (dh says I'm being paranoid), and would like to talk to > someone here, maybe get a suggestion for a consult? maybe to try to > figure out if she does.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2002 Report Share Posted May 6, 2002 No, I don't have any pics of the back or top of her head yet. I'm going to try to take a couple with this roll of film. I'm still hoping there's someone here that lives nearby. I will also ask the ped at our next visit but was hoping to find someone who might be able to help me figure out if I even have anything for the ped to diagnose... > > I'm looking for someone in St. Louis....I'm not sure if my dd has > > plagio (dh says I'm being paranoid), and would like to talk to > > someone here, maybe get a suggestion for a consult? maybe to try > to > > figure out if she does.

Yes, I have looked at that site. It's hard for me to tell about my dd. suggested I take some pics. So I'll try that and maybe if I look at the pics I will be able to see more if there is a problem. > Has your pediatrician mentioned anything to you about plagio No. I plan to ask at our next visit, which isn't until the end of June. But with all the talk about sleeping on one side causing it in some kids, I'm concerned and want to get as much info as possible. My dd almost always sleeps on her right side. My dh thinks I'm seeing things which is why I'm trying to find another way to really see if she does have plagio.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
