Hi Everyone!

I have written once before, and am new to the group. I just kind of

need some mommy opinions!! Please help!! So... my son Blake will be 5

months old tomorrow. He was diagnosed with tort and plagiocephaly the

beginning of this month, after I finally had had it withh our

Pediatrician. We expressed our concerns about the difference in his

ears twice, and no reaction at all. So..I did reasearch on my own,

and called my daughters (she was born with a bilateral cleft lip)

craniofacial team, who fit us in right away with the nurse

practitioner, and that was when he was diagnosed. He is a mild cased,

but does have ear assymetry. We have been doing PT for a few weeks

now, and I was doing it at home before we started going to the doctor

for it, I knew it was not normal that my baby only looked and turned

to one side. Now, I am a nurse, but you do not need to be a nurse to

know that was not right. I need help b/c I am leaning towards doing

the band. We had an eval done at CT and he was a candidate, even

though he is a mild case. I am afraid I guess, b/c all doctors have

different opinions. Should I go with my gut and do it now while he is

little, and potentially could be in it for a shorter time? Should I

wait to see the entire craniofacial team on 3/11? (i feel like it is

a year away, and fell I can not wait anymore!!) help!

Thank you!!

As a mommy I think you always have to go with your gut. If you feel like it is

the right

thing for him, than do it. I do not think there are many moms who regret

banding, but

there a lot who regret NOT banding. Good luck, and hope all goes well! - Meg
