Guest guest Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Hi everyone, We are brand new to the Plagio world as our baby daughter, Imogen " Immie " has just been diagnosed with brachycephaly. She was born May 22, 2008 at 37 weeks 5 days weighing 6 lbs 3 oz. She is now 16 lbs 13 oz and very cheerful. We also have a son, Robbie, who will be 3 on Feb. 3rd. At Immie's 6 month check the doc noticed her head was growing wider not longer and that her head had increased in size over 40% in the last two months. This led to a CT scan with sedation, which made DH and myself more nervous than she ever was. She came through with flying colors and the CT was normal - no premature suture closing. So we were sent to Cranial Technologies in Dallas for evaluation the following week. The pediatric RN, , told us that based on Immie's measurements and the formula they use to calculate asymmetry, Immie was +3.1 percent above normal. They say she could be in the DOCband at the most 12 weeks with 2 week follow up afterwards. Now we're just waiting on insurance. We have Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas and I've read horror stories about them. I will check out the Appeals section and see if anyone's had any luck with them. I will also put Immie's photo in the babies section. I really can't tell that she needs a DOCband except that her right ear is " behind " her left ear when she lays down and she does have frontal bulging (the tiniest!) above her brow. Anyway, just wanted to say hello and introduce our family! , WAHM to Robbie, Immie and wife to , WAHD and computer test consultant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
