Re: Cephalic index/ratio slow to improve

[Guest guest]

Leila,

Thanks for sharing your numbers. I don't know how similar our experience will

be, because our son is in a Starband, not a Doc. But we have a great orthotist.

will be eight months old next week, and he's been in the band for

eight weeks.

I hope you have a great scan next month! The important thing is how it actually

looks (in my opinion), but it's satisfying to see the numbers improve too.

By the way, good for you for sticking with treatment for so long. Your daughter

will thank you, I'm sure!

has improved to 4mm (3%). But his Cephalic ratio is still 87% (down from 90.5%).

It did not change in the last 2 weeks. Our orthotist said she would like it to

be between 80-83%. This seems like so far away. We have another appt in 2 weeks,

I hope it improves some by then. He looks great and we are happy with our

results. Anyone else have a Cephalic index that was slow to increase?
