interesting doctor's appt today

[Guest guest]

Oh the joys of parenting. It's 1:30am and I'm finally doing all those

little things that I had planned on doing today before Abby had her

meltdown earlier today. I know things will greatly improve once we

get her to take naps (not the 10 minute kind).

We went to the osteopath for the cranial sacral therapy today.

Sometimes I think dr's have no clue. Would you like to know what his

definition of plagiocephaly is? He says (and I quote), " if you can

see it across the room...then it's plagiocephaly. If you have to get

up close to see it, that's not plagiocephaly. " Wonder which class he

learned that in?

As much as I love the things that've been accomplished with the

sacral massage, I'm starting to think this dr is a bit of a nitwit.

He told me today that if I did have Abby wear a helmet, he'd stop

treatment. We'd be welcome to come see him after she was done. Nice,

huh?

On a totally different topic, I have some great tort news Abby

fell asleep in the car today and her head just flopped all over...in

any old direction. I was ecstatic.

What a day!

Christy,

YeeHaw about the floppy head thing - Hooray for Abby!! As for the cranial sacral

therapist - I think he has a lot to learn about plagio and working as a team. I

just can't see anything wrong with him working as part of a team to help your

baby! It's ridiculous for him to take the " my way or the highway " approach -

sheesh! Still, if he has been able to help with the tort then I guess he has

done something good.

I'm glad to hear that the tort is improving! That will surely help make the

repositioning easier!

Christy,

Oh my goodness, that is a new one to me. I would think if there were such a class as Being a Jerk 101, that's where he learned it! I can't believe he won't continue to treat Abby if you go ahead with a helmet. I'm usually a very quiet person, but this would have me complaining up a streak! You're absolutely right, he is a nitwit!

Congrats on Abby's head being able to flop all over the place! That is terrific news!

Christy,

I have read so many posts of experiences all over the world with Doctors on

this Board and somehow I am still shocked and in disbelief of how the medical

" professionals " are treating the very people that make their bread and

butter!! I can't believe he would be that stupid to say if you can't see it

across the room its not plagio. Well, guess what, if I have crooked teeth

and I don't smile a lot out of embarrassment, does that mean my teeth aren't

crooked because you never see them? Basically he's telling you if you can

get away with hiding it from the general public, there is not a problem.

Well, hello, there are also facial features, a muscular and nerve system

attached to those skull bones that are shifting and could also affect a

person medically!! (like you all needed to hear that, but it just irks

me!!!!). And what about looking in a mirror- do they have to stand 10 feet

away to feel comfortable with the way they look?! MORON!!!! If you really

like this guy because of the craniosacral- you could always take the helmet

off and not say a word about it- then everybody's happy and he'll be none the

wiser! I was so happy to read that Abby seems to be doing really well in

fighting the tort- that's awesome that her head was going in ALL directions!!

WOO-HOO- a big happy dance on that one! I think repositioning is very

hopeful, and I would continue to do this as much as possible- whatever works!

and it has for many, so don't stop there! Keep up the good work and I hope

to see a great post of more progress to come!! Good luck!
