Guest guest Posted August 21, 2002 Report Share Posted August 21, 2002 my son was not older but I think you will get many responses that parents have banded at an older age and have had great results. It is wonderful you knew about it ahead of time with your son and he will be getting treatment so early. Keep us posted! beck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 21, 2002 Report Share Posted August 21, 2002 , So sorry to hear about your daughter and the lack of treatment that you were able to get- it sounds like you ran up against a Doctor that was giving you her opinion, rather than actually researching it and finding information to the contrary of what she thought. I think you can look in the database or bookmarks section for a list of band friendly doctors near you if you feel that repositioning is not working. Continue to reposition as much as possible and start taking pictures from all angles with wet hair, but in the meantime, have your ped give you a referral for a nuerologist or get a free eval from a Cranial Tech near you if at all possible, this can give you an idea of whether or not you'll need to start researching the band/helmet route. On a side note, how is your daughter developmentally? Have you experienced any delays at all? Just curious as I am not sure plagio and delays are related. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2002 Report Share Posted August 21, 2002 Hi, I wanted to see if there were any parents out there that had their child seen by a specialist at 12 months or older and were told the band would not help at that age. I see alot of children getting correction when they start band treatment at 13, 14, 15 ,16, 17, 18 months and do not know why some specialists will band and others will not if the child is over 12 months old. My daughter was not banded at 13 months because the nuero she saw said it was too late to do any good. She is now 30 months old and I can really see the plagio. My 4 1/2 month old son was just diagnosed with plagio and will hopefully get banded. Thanks for your input. (mom to Sierra 30 months plagio untreated, and 4 1/2 months just dx w/ plagio) Digest Number 2096 For more plagio info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
