Guest guest Posted June 25, 2002 Report Share Posted June 25, 2002 Hello to all: I haven't been active on this website for a while, as I am just too busy right now, but I want to you all to know that I think of all our little plagio kids every day! I am hoping all our little ones are getting rounder, stronger and developing wonderfully, and that moms and dads are doing great too! We have good news with Rhiannon - she has " used up " the life of her first helmet (she's to the shell now), and will be casting for her second helmet on Saturday! She corrected to the life of the first helmet in only one month, and her head is pretty round in the back. Now to work on some of her other areas (facial asymmetry, parallelogram shape) with the new helmet. We saw amazing correction on both of these areas already, but we feel that since she is still responding so well to the treatment, and since we do have some areas that can still move, why not do it? When it's over, I want to feel that we did all we could for my beautiful darling and want to have no regrets! As you all may remember, we are driving 325 miles (that's 5 hours one way) to the nearest CT. (I live in St. MN, CT is in Madison, WI) Although I am EXHAUSTED, it is worth every mile. Thank God for CT. What a wonderful product they have!!! To anyone who has to drive a ways, please know that it is well worth it! Rhiannon's gross motor skills are coming right along. (She has torticollis as well). Her midline is just fine (she claps!) and she can roll over both ways, front to back and back to front. She is almost sitting all by herself (she does so now with a little help), and we are working on crawling - that one is a little harder for a baby who doesn't particularily care for her tummy time, but I think that as soon as she figures out that she can MOVE on her tummy, that will be motive enough LOL. Well, gotta run. Have a great day! , Rhiannon's mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 25, 2002 Report Share Posted June 25, 2002 , So good to hear about Rhiannon's progress. Sounds like she did great in her first band and is ready to get going in her second band. That is awesome! Thanks for the update!

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2002 Report Share Posted June 26, 2002 , This is terrific news!! I can't believe that Rhia is going onto her second band already, that is awesome! It sounds like things are *finally* on the right track for you and Rhia, and I couldn't be anymore happier for you! We love updates like this, keep them coming!
