Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Are you going to band Greta to round out the sides of her head or are you going to wait and see if she grows into it?

We met with a head Neurosurgeon at Children's Hosp of Philadelphia, who took one quick look at her and said NO. She does NOT have cranio!!! He was like, yes, she has an odd shape in the back, but she will grow into it. I have seen this before, she is fine.Thank GOODNESS! Thanks for being so supportive! This isnt my end to the group, I will keep in touch and show you how her head progresses- incase someone like Greta joins the group, they will know what this is. All it is, is a " prominant occiput " Case closed!!! Bye for now:) And good luck to ALL of you!

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hey Molly, VERY GOOD QUESTION...I havent even thought about that now that I think of it! When the Neurosurgeon said he has seen this before and the heads usually round out perfectly, i didnt even think of the band...But, for me, I will seek a band if by 6 or 7 months it hasnt improved atleast 50 percent...but just by looking at her now, it looks different and it has only been a week and a half...she must have had a big growth spurt in her head or something, cause it already looks different!(typical right? we go to 2 different neurosurgeons and OVERNIGHT the head changes for the better!) As of right now, No, with the band...I will look for improvement...then take it from there! I will post some pics of her head over the weekend, and all of y'all can tell me if you notice a change!
