Added Photos - Need Opinions

[Guest guest]

Hi Ladies!

Per several suggestions, I added the head pics of my ds ... they are

under " Max " . To refresh, his facial asymmetry is 3 mm and axis length

is 12 mm.

After looking at the pics, do you still think banding is a good option?

Thanks!!

Hi--

Yes, I do think that banding is a good option for you as I look at

Max's photos--by the way, what a cutie!!!

So, I can see the facial asymatry, especially with his eyes. The shot

from the top of his head with him laying down also shows the plagio

quite a bit. That was exactly how my sons looked. You can see that on

the left back corner it rounds out but on the right, you can see a

diagnol angle where it is not rounded. Not sure if I am making sense,

but I posted Merrick's before and after repo pictures in the M folder,

so you can take a look there. The first photos were at three months and

the second at four months, we got the band at 4.5 months and I am so

glad that we moved forward with banding. We are seeing results, and he

is already half way through treatment.

,

Do you know what is so frightening? I never even noticed the

asymmetry between his eyes until you pointed it out and I've been

staring at him for 5 months!! Do I have some serious denial or what??

I also think banding is a good option. It doesn't look severe, but

still if you don't do it you will wonder " what if? " (at least if

you're like me).

--boy do I know!! I have posted here before that my husband and

I didn't see it!! It was the pediatrician that pointed it out, then

CT had to explain it to us on the photos--and then--we felt just

terrible. But we are so thankful that our pediatrician was proactive

and saw what we didn't. I think to us he just looked like 'Merrick'

and it wasn't our instinct to look for something that might

be 'wrong.' Now I cannot believe that there was a time that we didn't

notice the flatness and facial asymatry, especially now that I see

the correction from him helmet and it is amazingly different

(improved).
