Re: Re: Regression after graduating from band

We regressed a bit.  Elaine is not done, but she was very sick (RSV that devolved into pneumonia) so with her fevers and such she was out of it the better part of 3 weeks.  Measurements aren't always exact but she was at zero (plagio assym) for her last adjustment, and when she was re adjusted after she got better a month later there was about an 1/8 of an inch difference (less than 2mm), and her brachey got worse.  It's not because the flat area itself worsened so much as what was there didn't change through a growth spurt making the ratios worse.  I know <2mm is within normal, but it bothers me when we were at zero a month earlier.

 

As for true regression, where the flat spot would get significantly worse, I haven't heard of a case like that.

sorry to hear about the regression, but 2 mm is my dream right now!
