Re: Newly diagnosed plagio

[Guest guest]

I agree with Pam...she is gorgeous and I would go for an eval and

see what the " experts " say and then go from there. I see extra

width, flatness across the entire back, and possibly extra height in

her head.

PS: I asked my ped. about the hair covering my son's plagio...he

said yes, but we need to make sure his head is growing correctly

because of the various things that could happen if it continues to

grow assymetrically (i.e. TMJ, headaches, etc.) Also, helmets,

glasses, etc. may not fit right if her head is " off. " Good luck.
