Guest guest Posted August 24, 2002 Report Share Posted August 24, 2002 We went to the ped yesterday. I was so excited to take the pictures, measurements and headicle. Unfortunately, my ped wasn't that impressed. Everyone else that I have showed them to has been amazed at the difference in Annika's head. My ped was just kind of luke warm. I really wanted to rub it in her face a little. I know that sounds bad, but our ped tried to talk us out of the band and I really wanted to educate her about its benefits and show her that it really worked. Maybe she was just trying to save face. Oh well, at least I know it was worth it! Tami, mom to Annika (DOC Grad 8/14/02) __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 25, 2002 Report Share Posted August 25, 2002 Tami: Well then - it sure does sound like your ped has quite the attitude regarding the bands! What a shame Here you had concrete evidence with the head mold & she still had a bug up her butt about it. Heaven forbid she be proved wrong! It sounds like she's a PERFECT candidate to receive a copy of Kia's excellent letter she gave to her ped! Debbie Abby's mom DOCgrad MI > We went to the ped yesterday.

More than likely Tami- no ped wants to admit they are wrong-she know in her heart though! Keep up the great work! beck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 Tami, No doubt was she feeling that salt in the wound!!! Keep showing her your pictures- my Doc was equally amazed (just visually) and is forever commenting on how good his head looks- (she never supported my decision until it was over and done with!!!) I don't know if she's being sarcastic, since its overkill at this point, but I don't care because his head does look good, bottom line!

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 : You are right - I will just keep commenting on it at her ped visits so that she realizes just how important it is to properly advise her patients. She is a good ped & I really like her, but I don't think she took the situation serious enough. We got the whole " it will round out on its own " comment. She did help us with aggressive repositioning and thank heaven for that or Annika's flattening would have been much worse.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 Tami, It will be great if you can show her before and after pics, and let her keep a set to show other parents that banding can be effective! She might really start analyzing that head shape and become a member of the head police! LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 : CT provided Annika's ped with a before and after set of pics. They actually put the before pics on the left side of the page and the after pics on the right side of the page. It is really cool to see the difference. My ped had a copy in Annika's chart, but said that they were hard to tell the difference because it was a two dimensional picture. I DISAGREE! But you have to know what you are looking at - (i.e. the flat drop off in the back from the side shot and the inability to see the nose from the top down shot). I am convinced that Annika's ped was just trying to save face. I will keep trying to educate her and the medical group. I am pretty relentless - and who knows she may just break down and become a member of the head police after all.
