hey everyone, Delylah's dr & casting appt(long)

[Guest guest]

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to update D's progress..it was a long day..we went to

see Dr. Day; i didn't get to see the measures, but i pretty sure it

was good bc he said that she didn't have any assym.; he said she was

a little short in the back, but is fine; she's a brachy; she's great

& blah blah blah, on a 1-10 she's a 3; didn't really recommend

banding, but gave the Rx. I have a problem tho. i don't know but he

started asking why i wanted to do this & what is the real reason..

(please correct if i'm wrong)but i told him that i didn't want her to

be teased in the future; he said that she won't & that i shouldn't

see things that aren't true, not there; that there is a problem with

me (or my family) & that i/we should get help(something along those

lines)...don't get me wrong..Dr. Day was really easy to talk to & he

is nice. He just asked many times what is the real reason.. & i even

shed some tears...bc i do feel guilty... leaving her on her back &

going back to school when i shouldn't of. But still he wanted to know

what's driving me. i didn't know what else to say bc i told him

already...does anyone know or have an idea of what he is looking

for?? it's driving me nuts, but i really wished i should of asked

him..anyways, he said he would stop preaching...he's really nice

tho. ; he just didn't think D would be a really good candidate for

the band; that she would get a better than now headshape..does anyone

have a moderate baby???? & did you band.

Okay, i need to stop somewhere..i could go on & on...oh

yeah ,everyone thinks i'm overreating now.....anyhow, D cried all

through the casting it was B-A-D.. & i kept wondering if i am doing

the right thing & will this (crying) affect her personality?? she

even cried afterwards like she remembers everything..also she didn't

enjoy her bath..it was just so bad, my husband started hating me!!

i just hope i am doing the right thing for her & i'm confused.

thanks everyone for letting me share.

I'm glad Dr. Day was so open minded.

Don't feel guilty. By laying D on her back, you were doing what you

were told to do by the medical community. Don't feel guilty about

going back to school. D will benefit from your education in the

future.

Dane was deemed to be moderate, but had asymmetry. When people

asked me " Why would you put him through that? " I responded with the

same answers you did, but I also had another more selfish reason!

If 10 years from now, Dane asked me why his head wasn't " normal " , I

wanted to be able to tell him I did everything I could. He probably

would have gotten some natural correction, but I did not feel

comfortable taking chances with natural correction when I knew

banding would give us the results we desired. He looks wonderful

today. Now we can't understand what was the big deal when we were

trying to decide to band or not.

, sweetie, you are Delylah's mommy and you know in your heart what is best for her. You are not doing this for selfish reasons...why would you want to spend that kind of money to be selfish? Every doctor has an opinion and my neuro was all for getting a helmet and even though they didn't rate her plagio it probably is moderate. As I have posted he is sending her for an MRI and being very thorough. I am sorry to hear things went badly during the casting but this will all be behind you in a few months. I have been very emotional lately about the whole prospect of wearing her helmet for the next 4-6 months but I also know it's for the best. My one question is why did he give you an Rx if he didn't think she was a candidate? That doesn't make any sense and it sounds like he is contradicting himself. I know everyone else will jump in here but that's my opinion. I also don't like the fact that he told you you have a problem and need help for wanting your daughter have a corrected head. Plagio can lead to many problems including TMJ and vision problems. You are not overreacting and you be strong and do what's best for you and Delylah. We are all going through this and I don't think ANY of us are crazy or need help. Thanks for updating us on her progress and I hope you feel better about this whole process soon.
