I realised I had made a bit of a mistake with Finley’s head measurements. His head is in fact wider than it is in depth. The true severity is definitely over 100% - more like 110%.
Starting to really worry about Friday now.
My name is Sarah, mother of two sons: Jack 3 and Finley. Finley was one on 24th January 2007 has been diagnosed with severe brachycephaly (a widening of the skull with a flat back of head) This blog is here to create awareness of his condition and for us to keep a record of his progress.

What is Brachycephaly/Plagiocephaly?
Brachycephaly refers to the condition where the head is disproportionately wide with the back of the head being flat instead of rounded.
Plagiocephaly refers to the condition characterized by a parallelogram head shape and a persistent flatten spot on the back or one side of the head. In severe cases it can cause asymmetry of the face including uneven ears and eyes.
