Re: Flat to Squarish to Roundovalish, WOW!

Not to spoil people's hopes, but I haven't seen this with my daugther. She

graduated at 10 mo, and my feeling is her head is the same at 3.5 yrs. I would

love to say that she's improved, but I don't think so. It does make me so happy

that I did band her while I could - since I know she wouldn't have " rounded out

on her own " . I guess every kid is different.

You're right about that :-). Trust me, , I am forever thankful for this group and to you.

I don't know if I ever told you this but it's the STARscanner report that you posted of Sydney in the photo albums that made me really doubt Maysa's first passive helmet. It is also with that in mind that I ended up going back to Orthomerica. I needed to see if Maysa's progress was comparable to that of Sydney's. The rest is history, but the fact that I had something to compare things to helped me keep my sanity!

Thanks!

I think you misunderstood me. I know you are 100% pro-banding. I just meant not every baby will continue to round out. Also it just makes me even happier in our specific case, since sydney's head didn't do anything on its own. Meaning her head would have been a big mess now if I hadn't done anything, and Maysa's head would be a slightly less big mess ;-)-christinesydney, 3.5 yrs, starband grad> >> > For those of you who wonder if the head keeps moving in the right direction after the

Hi,

I thought it was great Maysa's rounded out so nicely at this age with

or without the band! I am hoping 's head does as well with his

helmet as Maysa's did without. is approaching 15 months and the

current severity is comparable to Maysa's in the 15.5 months pictures.

has plagio though and the problem is restricted to the back right

side, so the asymmetry makes it look worse. We plan to keep in a

helmet as long as possible.

Hi Leila, Maysa looks amazing! I'm so happy for you. My husband and I are

putting Luke back in a helmet next week, but this time a DOC band. I think his

head looks good, but certain angles are still upsetting my husband, so I agreed

that we should do everything we can so that both of us are happy. Luke adjusted

well in the other band and his head can only get better.

I'm hoping that he gets as much improvement as Maysa did. She really does look

wonderful.
