Guest guest Posted November 11, 2001 Report Share Posted November 11, 2001 Hi, Evan is finally nearing the end of his treatment. Well, actually he may be done. I picked him up at daycare on Friday and his face looked red and he was not himself. He cried when I took his band off. I cring to think that it has become uncomfortable or painful. (Of course one of his caretakers said " wouldn't that be just aweful if it was causing a headache or hurting him! " I wanted to smack her!!! Like we don't feel bad already) He has had a red spot on his forehead in the " holding " place for over a month. It fades, but is always there when I take off the band. We have been thinking carefully about whether he will get any additional benefit or to just throw in the towel on this. Our OT has said he looks good but could improve a little more. However, she seemed fine with us being done 2 weeks ago when we seemed ready to stop. His ears are still a little off, and he is a little flat on the " latch " side. I guess I don't want to feel like we gave up too soon and am wondering if any of you went through a choice like this or it was a bit more decided for you?????? I don't plan on putting it back on until he sees his OT again anyway which is not until Tuesday. I am also wondering if that is just too long to keep it off which means decision made!?! He has been in the DOC band for 4 months. He started at 5 1/2 months old. Any thoughts or insites would be appreciated. Thanks, Beth Anne & Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
