Guest guest Posted June 12, 2002 Report Share Posted June 12, 2002 Hi it . Saw the pics. Wow your lucky his head doesnt look to bad. Ill try to get some pics out of my son. has his flat spot on the right side so he has a lot of bossing on that side. But you should be happy, it looks like he wont have to wear one for long, especially if you can get treatment soon. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 12, 2002 Report Share Posted June 12, 2002 Good luck next week! Alec's head looks just like Timmy's head and we will be getting our band next week. The Cranialfacial doctor told us that Timmy had moderate Plagio and while it was up to us, he would put him in a band. He also said that because of Timmy's age (he'll be 9 1/2 months next week) that we should not expect 100% correction but his head will get much rounder. We were nervous meeting with the doctor too, but he was so nice, and then everyone at Cranial Tech has been wonderful, so we have been able to relax about the whole thing somewhat. ~~ alec's head pictures i attached 2 pictures of alec's head - i'd love to hear what you all think of it... we have an appointment next week with a pediatric plastic surgeon at cleveland clinic foundation (dr. papay - anyone heard of him?) i'm NERVOUS and EXCITED at the same time - UGH!

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2002 Report Share Posted June 12, 2002 Hey Traci thanks for sharing those pictures his head reminds me so much of 's when he was casted for the doc. I would love to see his cute little smile though-so if you can post one of those. Good luck next week I am sorry I have never heard of the DR but I am sure it will be a good experience. I hope it will. Keep us posted! beck Mom to doc grad Memphis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 12, 2002 Report Share Posted June 12, 2002 Hi Traci, I would agree with most others have said - his head looks like it might be moderate. As Debbie said, it is so hard to tell without seeing him person. Does he have facial assymetry? I hope your appt with Dr. Papay goes well. I think your ped is right to have Alec checked out for cranio or other problems first. Never hurts to be certain. Good luck on Thursday.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2002 Report Share Posted June 13, 2002 Hi, I'm certainly no doctor. But, from my experience I'd say his cute little head looks pretty moderate to me. It looks alot like my daughter, 's head at 5 mo's when she got the DOC band and her plagio was diagnosed as moderate. She's had her headband for about a month and a 1/2 now and her head's almost totally rounded. Good luck with your appointment and keep us posted. , 's mom SouthernCalifornia Traci ey <traecer@...> wrote: i attached 2 pictures of alec's head - i'd loveto hear what you all think of it...we have an appointment next week with a pediatricplastic surgeon at cleveland clinic foundation(dr. papay - anyone heard of him?)i'm NERVOUS and EXCITED at the same time - UGH!THANKS EVERYONE!traci & alec__________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
