Guest guest Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 Hi Eleanor, Boris was 16 months when he was banded. We had difficulties finding a doctor, it took so long, but fortunately we found Dr.Blecher. He had moderate/severe plagio, the asymmetry was 19mm.He wore it for 7 months, and got about 40% correction, down to 11mm. I am so happy that we did it. I know it must be hard for you. But I found casting the only unpleasant thing about the whole process. It takes couple of weeks to get used to it, but then it's fine. You know it's only temporary, and it will help him, and that's what matters. Put some nice stickers, I found that makes people very friendly, and they always thought it's cute. Don't worry, on is very young, he probably won't be in the band more than 4 months, and he will certainly have so much better results than we did. You're doing the right thing for him. Whenever you need some reassurance, please feel free to contact me (or anybody here). We won't let you feel sad and alone! Good luck!!!
