RE: From Aileen's mom

Sheila:

Like I mentioned, Abby graduated almost 1 yr ago with about 50-60% correction.

Noone but those who know how bad her plagio was before her DOCband notice any

remaining flatness and/or assymetries. You mentioned looking at the other

plagio child while in pigtails. I thought I'd send our family Christmas photo

taken Nov 2001 of Abby, my husband & I. Abby has her hair up in pig tails - I

don't think anyone would notice her assymetries while in pigtails. Take a look

at it - maybe it will help put your mind at ease. BTW, Aileen's top view of her

head looks better than Abby's did at her graduation date last June!

Let us know what you decide. Good luck.

Thank you for all of your responses. I do really appreciate it so

much. I cried to her PT at Cranial this week. You all made me feel

so much better. I know you all know how it is to love these little

babies soo much it hurts! Her OT is giving me a name of someone who

lives nearby who I can visit with. Her daughter graduated with

assymetries a year ago, and her son is prob. going into a second band

soon. She thought it might make me feel better to see her daughter in

pig tails, and see if I even notice the the assymetries. And then

there is the option of another band which we really did not want. Her

OT said it is subjective, but classifies her now as low moderate to

mild. Your advice and input has helped me tremendously. We have

probably all trained our eyes now to see these asymmetries and they

must seem worse to me. Her right cheek is fuller and eye a bit

bigger. But my right eye is also bigger! Her OT said as she gets

older, her cheeks are less fuller, and less noticeable. I will give

you an update when I can assure you I am finally at ease.

Congrats to you all too for being such great moms. Every sentence

that each of you sent was more helpful than you could know!
