Dina: The band should help 's assymetries (including the cheek & eye). My Abby had the same issues, her DOCband diminished the fuller cheek, bossing forehead & smaller eye greatly. It also helped her ear assymetry. That's wonderful did so well with her casting . We've had a few babies lately handle it so well - I wish I was so lucky, hehe! It sounds like things are going veyr well right now for everything - with 's tort & now her plagio. You're doing a great job with her! I'm sure the fitting will go well. Let us know how it goes. Good luck. Debbie Abby's mom DOCgrad MI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2002 Report Share Posted January 25, 2002 Dina: I already replied to your post, but it hasn't shown up on the board in an hour, so it must be lost, or else I'm losing my mind & didn't really reply!!!! (that could be too!) 's band should help her assymetries. My Abby also had the puffier cheek, smaller eye, etc., her DOCband helped greatly. 's STARband should help those concerns. It is terrific that you'll be able to get PT for her 3 times a week now.....that should help her tort a ton! I can't believe how well she did with the casting. You are so lucky! She sounds like a happy little girl. I'm sure the fitting will go smooth. Good luck with it-let us know how it goes.
