We would have probably met you at CT if we hadn't been running so late; our

original appointmet was at 11:00! Wow, her exit casting, we just started.

That seems like eternity at this point! Our next appointmet there is on the

18th. Good luck and congratulations to .

,

Thank you for the udpate on . I am so happy to hear of your success!

Wow - you will be done before you know it - hooray!! Can't wait to see that

" Graduated " post!! :-)

As far as your friend goes, I doubt you will be able to convince her if she

is determined that it will correct itself. The only comfort is that you say

the baby has little to no facial assymetry - perhaps some of the medical

complications that can result from plagio will not occur. At this point I

would say you have done all you can do. I think you have done more then most

would have the courage to do - I know I find it almost impossible to

approach a mom whose baby has an obviously flat head!

Thanks again for the update - I am so happy for you, and your family.

Thanks for the great update on ! I am so happy to hear you've

already seen such great improvement.

As for your friend, I really don't have a good way for you to

convince her to go for the helmet. You've already recommended it &

she turned it down, so from there I don't know what else you can do.

Maybe when she sees the great improvement on 's head that will

change her mind? Otherwise, I hope it will round out on it's own.

Please keep ups updated on 's future improvement!!!

Its so good to hear from you again. I'm really happy to hear that

is improving so quickly! The time really does go by quickly

and you'll be done before you know it.

I applaud you for bringing the plagio to your friends attention.

Unless it was a family member or my very best friend, I don't think I

would have the courage to approach someone about their babies head

shape. There really doesn't seem to be too much more you can do, if

you talk about it too much you run the risk of offending her. I

really don't know what else to say, you've done what you could and

its up to the mom now.

Kellie,

Wow!! What a story! You have been a busy girl. Sorry I can't help with the

referral, but I am positive that you will get good feedback from someone in

the group! You will definately want to get started immediately so that you

have the best chance of getting good correction. Sorry about the first helmet

- that must have been very, very infuriating! Glad to have you back and look

forward to hearing more from you.

Congrats on walking - next he'll be running, skipping, driving, dating

and getting married!! Sheesh - where does the time go???? LOL!

Hi Kellie:

Good to hear from you again. That's such a shame you went thru all

that to get casted & he hasn't even been able to wear the

helmet - I can imagine how frustrated you are with the whole

situation. I hope someone in our group can help you and will

finally be in a helmet/band and soon!!

is an early walker - that's great! Look out!

Hi Kellie,

Sheesh, you would think the military would try to be more helpful to

the families of those who help protect our country! Oh well, sorry

to hear that you had to stop with the band for awhile, but you'll

soon be back on track!! Let us know how it goes getting a new helmet!

YAY for walking! They grow up so fast don't they?! And

congrats to your hubby on the new job!!

Sounds like a good plan to me! I really hope you see some more

Dana,

Congratulations on beating that dreaded tort!! YEAH! With that resolved, his head shape will most definitely improve as he won't be so concentrated on being on one side. What a relief to have no more therapy, eh? I think I can hear a big sigh of relief out there (or is that me?)- I felt that way when our was finally done with pt also! Good luck at your appt. with the neuro and keep us posted on 's progress!

Thanks for the good update. That's terrific news his tort is gone.

That will probably improve his headshape on it's own also. Also good

Michele -

I hope you get good news from the surgeon. I think we as parents

are the most critical of our babies heads, so I hope you are right

about it being pretty mild! You are the one who looks at it more

than anyone! You still have a month and can hopefully see even more

improvement with repositioning.

Dane's helmet has saved him many bruises from his 2 year old

sister. She hasn't quite figured out the idea of " personal space. "

When it comes off, I am not probably going to be as worried about

regression as I am going to be worried about the mishaps he has been

protected from the past 2 months.

Trish, Thank you, we do know feel like good parents most of the times. We have 3 adult children and I remember the things we did with them and the childhood they had. has not had that. He cannot handle many ofthe things we did. But on the other side of door we do try to link him to as much typical activites as we can. This vacation wil be a hoot! They longest has every traveled in a car is from Ohio to Paris Island to see our one son graduate form boot camp 8 years ago. He did that one well. This of course is a much larger trip. We are taking is Leapster and have bought a couple surprise games for him, his DVD player and some surprise movies. We have a fidgit box made up and have made travel games with boardmaker. He has a traveling USA Passport with stickers. He will have things to look for and take pictures of in each state, 3 stories for each state with 3 questions to answers, than he gets his sticker. The

hotels all have pools and if he is polite and respectful he gets to go to the pool before bed. has been collecting cans for 2 years and spare change for the past 5 months for his travel mad money. The whole can thing touches me because he will not keep the tabs on the cans. They HAVE to come off and go into a jar he bought at a yard sell. The tabes HAVE to go to school because the one teachers class collects them to help pay for new movies and therapy items. He crushed the can in the garage and tells you off if you touch his can crusher, "My responsibility, my job, my pocket money! " He has saved just under 500.00 for this trip! As for the dog, to meet our fundraising requirement we need to raise 12000.00. We have raised 5000.00 so far. Once we raise the rest of the money gets his training class date. We are now looking at sometime in 2008 before he gets his dog. It takes 6 months to train the dog

secificly for . Our next fundraiser will not be until Aug due to the big vacation. We have talked about the varies bio medical routes, we just would feel better with many health issues and meds to be able to work with a professional to guide us. The probelms is we can not find one that takes medicade. Bob has been on disability for going on 2 years and I took a break from my job in March in order to focus on . SO money is even tighter right now. BeckyTrish <minniemimi1@...> wrote: Hi Becky, Your trip sounds like fun! You are such good parents...not just because you are planning this vacation around family visits, but because you are including so many interesting places and things to do. The fact that you have been carefully including in the planning and giving him a good idea as to what to expect (hard work that it is) should help things run smoothly and create some wonderful memories. I am looking forward to checking in on your travel log!!!! ...AND OMG! is soooo cute!!!!! I do hope that he gets a therapy dog... how much $$$ do you have to raise, or is it just a matter of how much the organization raises????We never had Noah tested for Celiacs, and he would most likely test negative for it anyway. We do know that he has an intolerance to wheat and dairy. Before we went gf/cf, his entire system was a mess. His

tummy was round and bloated, he had either constipation or diarrhea. In his case, as a toddler, he craved only the things that made him sick. The diet helped his ability to focus better and to calm down, a lot. He will be 6 soon and has been gf/cf for almost 2 years. Have you ever thought about using enzymes? Living in a household of 6 people, Noah being the only one on the diet, he has had many infractions. He inevitably reacts in some way, usually in the GI dept. We went through more than a year of episodes of encopresis. It was impossible to toilet train him for BMs because of this. About 6 months ago, we started him on enzymes for infractions, both planned and accidental. He began to do so well on them, that we've begun to increase their usage. He is so happy to be able to eat some "forbidden" foods now, that he has actually learned to swallow pills... and he needs 2, each time. We are using Houston AFP

Peptizyde (multiple protease) and HN-Zyme Prime (multiple enzymes). Since we began using them, he started to gain weight and have normal bowel movements. Within 2 months, he became totally potty trained. He is not totally off the diet, as we feel that it is healthier for him, and he has gotten used to many of the foods. But he has been using the enzymes more and more. When he takes them, we see none of the "expected" problems that gluten and casein would cause. They offer capsuls, chewables and powders. We use the capsuls, although we started out opening them and mixing them in juice. He is now able to swallow them.I met Devin Houston, who is a biochemist and the owner of this particular company. He makes himself available to speak to people to discuss the particular needs of individuals with digestive disorders. He helped me to determine which enzymes would be best for Noah. We had previously used other

brands and were never happy with the results. We hit it right this time. If you are at all interested in doing some research on enzymes, the web address is www.houstonni.com. Just a little something to think about, if you haven't already. Good luck with your travel plans. I am so excited for you...Now go hunt down those bears and HIDE them!!!! -Trish>> It has bee a while since I have posted an update on eating issues and weight loss. > > has been seeing doctors at Akron Children's hospital.

Hope you get well soon . I can't imagine finals while in pain.

When I am in pain, don't even ask me anything, don't touch me, don't

talk to me, don't come anywhere near me. Grrrrrrr.

If it is joint pain, turmeric, 1/2 tsp in a juice glass of water 3 times

a day. This winter my knuckles hurt so bad I couldn't use my hands.

Taking the turmeric, in a couple days the horrible pain in my knuckles

was totally gone.

Couldn't get rid of the pain or lessen it with anything I tried... . So now I'm on vicoden for the pain, but only at night. I'm still waiting for being scheduled for surgery, and that's kind of distracting too.

Not moving is not an option for me. My brain won't handle that, and I live with animals who must have food and exercise.Good thing, really; it gets me up when alone I might just choose to languish. Fibromyalgia can be insidious in its persuasion....but I've already lived the discovery of that lie, and while some movement might be difficult, NOT moving is ~very quickly~ much worse.So -"I like to move it, move it! I like to move it, move it!..."And speaking of fibromyalgia - anyone out there with the issue should seriously look into malic acid. Seriously.Ev"A hundred million miracles are happening every day!"> > Reminds me of the guy who told the doctor "It hurts when I hold my arm> up like this".
