Re: Aidans head looks square...(went to ortho today)

[Guest guest]

hi all,

we went for a check today. i see the same ortho every time-i really like her and

get a good

feeling from her. this is what happened: she said to keep in mind that the

helmet isnt

applying pressure, its just preventing the head from growing outwards further,

so where

there was bossing outwards before, (his head looked like a sideways oval) that

is still

present to some degree. but now there is growth other places so the head is

taking on a

diff shape and his head is still growing. the helmet is preventing any further

growth out.

there is good rounding where the void was, and she and her supervisior, the head

ortho,

said Aidan looked " almost perfect. "

Granted, you can only notice the squaring when his head is wet. Still, I am

still going to

make an appt with his neurosurg. to take a look at him as well. im not quite

satisfied,

especially when his head does not look at all round to me.

thoughts anyone?

at any rate i will let you know what the neurosurg. says....

Hi beth

do you have another facility by that you could have Aidan

evaluated??? I'm certain that the helmet tx in our case caused my

daughter's boxy head shape, but I had no where else to go. We were

in Germany and at the time only Spain had something or Germany where

we were. So...
