RE: correction in older infants

[Guest guest]

Ok, I remember you posting about his before. I'm soooo sorry to hear of your situation. What a shame.

Yes, Abby does still have some flatness and ear assymetry, her head isn't perfectly round by any means. But it is considerablly better than before her DOCband, so we are very happy with her results. Abby is also 29 mos old, same as your daughter.

Here's a picture of the top of Abby's head taken just last month. She can now wear pig tails and looks great. This picture of her head looks almost perfect, but there is definitely some remaining flatness.

You can see Abby's before & after DOCband pictures here: http://www.plagiocephaly.org/support/before-after.htm Abby is the 3rd baby (last) pictured.

I really wish yuo nothing but the best of luck in your fight. I'd be MORE than happy to type you up a personal history of Abby's success in her DOCband at an older age. Just let me know. Good luck with your son now too!
