Re: Grant's 2nd adjustment - saw headsicle

[Guest guest]

YEAH FOR GRANT!!

, it's so great that your seeing improvement!!!

Please let us know what your ped says, after seeing Grant's

headsicle!

> Well, I took Grant in for his 2nd adjustment and we saw the

headsicle for the first time. Wow, was I shocked. His head really

does have that trapezoid shape. Yikes! He has a lot of fuzzy blonde

hair...and that plus my mommy's loving point of view really skewed

it. It really looks bad on the headsicle! The GREAT news is there

has been a lot of improvement in the forehead bulging and the back is

starting to fill out a bit. Hopefully, the back will fill out a lot

over time and start to let the side behind his ear pop out, too. One

can hope! After seeing that headsicle, as awful as the first casting

was...I am convinced it is a good idea to do an exit casting as

well. Especially, if there is any question as to whether or not

he'll need a second band when we get to that point (right now they

don't think he'll need a second band). They let me take home the

headsicle until our next appt. in 2 weeks. Grant's 9 mos. well visit

is next week and I CAN'T WAIT to bring it to our ped who blew this

off for so long and wrote the prescription primarily to appease a

nagging mom.

,

What a good idea to bring the headsicle to your ped. It ought to be

interesting to hear what they have to say! I really wish that we had

gotten a headsicle, it would have been really nice to have concrete

proof of correction! I'm glad that Grant's head shape is rounding

out already, you guys will be done before you know it!

:

Isn't it just shocking once you see the headsicle?? It's like " was

his head really THAT flat?? " - it's the moment of truth as I call it.

That's terrific news he's seen improvment already. I bet you can't

wait to shove that in your ped's face & say " See, I told you so! " .

Thanks for the great update.
