Just 6 more wks? WOW! That is great news. Hopefully will hit

another good growth spurt to help correct remaining flatness before

graduation! So hopefully he'll be a graduate before Thanksgiving :)

Too bad about your friend's daughter, let's just hope mother nature

Thanks . LOL. I was very happy to hear only 6 more weeks. When i asked her how much longer.....i was half expecting her to say 4 more months...lol..but when she said 6 more weeks..that made me happy. His cranial facial dr had said another month..and then just let him outgrow the band...but he had said in the beginning that he would wear it for 2 months....and Charlotte kind of said longer...so i wasn't sure how much longer. It will be about 3 months by the time he graduates...if he wears it for another 6 weeks..so that wasn't too bad.

How's doing with the new helmet? So far it sounds good....is she still doing good in it?

I am very happy....yea..i can handle 6 more weeks. Did you ask Charlotte how much longer for Logan? I bet he'll be done in no time too. :) I'm only worried now that his growth will slow down..and then he'll have to wear it for longer.....lol..(i'm always worrying about something) but i won't worry about that....i'm just happy that it really is working!!

Yea, send an update on Logan!! :)

Debbie,

Thanks. Yea...i was happy when she said 6 more weeks. Of course if growth slows down and she suggests longer..i will probably leave it on longer..but she said that 6 weeks should be it...just to pop out the remaining flatness on the right side (which is much less noticeable now...and popped out a lot already) and for a little more growth on the left front...and she said for a little more length in the back to make it more rounded. But it really has gotten so much better. I often look at his head now and say it's not perfect..but if i got no more correction..i would be satisfied..though i obviously would be thrilled with more correction. But she said he will get more correction..so i'm very happy. He still has some height in the back....if he looks down..his head slopes downward..but it isn't as noticeable as it was.....b/c they kind of lifted his forehead a little with the helmet to make it less noticeable..and Charlotte said it looks better....and it does. And i was happy that she told us that his ears are lining up better which is what Dr hall had said.

Yea..i hope my friend's daughter's head does get better on its own...but i don't know..b/c i've known them for about 4 months now...and she is walking now (just started) and so she hasn't really been on her back the whole time and it hasn't gotten any better.....but with hair..it probably will be covered up.

  • 2 weeks later...

Dear Al,

I am sorry to hear of Randi's results. My

stepdaughter who is 23 had the same thing happen. The

first time they used the freezing technique and the

second time they used the lazer. Her last pap smear

came back ok. It sounds as though they are going to

do what is necessary to effect a positive outcome.

Thank goodness that she went to the dr and this was

caught before it got worse. She will have to be

followed closely for the next year or so with frequent

pap smears. It is so important for young women to go

to the dr even though they think that they are

healthy. The same thing holds true for young men;

even in their late teens, and testicular cancer.

I hope that they can get to the bottom of why you are

still losing weight. Has this ever happened to any of

the other men in your family? Just close your eyes

and imagine that you are having a milk shake when you

drink that barium (I don't know about you, but my

imagination is not powerful enough for that)!

Please know that you and Randi are still in our

thoughts and prayers. Iris

Hi Al,

I'm so sorry to hear about Randi, but hopefully they've caught the cancer in

plenty of time. Needless to say, she'll be in my prayers. Let us know how

it goes!

Much love to you and yours,

Carol

[ ] Update

Hi everyone,

As you know, it's been a pretty hectic time for me lately as I am

still having tests done regarding my weight loss. My GI doctor called

me at 10:00 pm with my biopsy results. Needless to say I was pretty

anxious when he called. On a good note, all of them were normal. No

cancer anywhere.

I will be having a small bowel x-ray tomorrow morning. Can't wait to

drink that barium again...LOL! My weight has remained around 160 with

minimal exercise and lots of food. Although this sounds like a dream

diet, I feel like the main character from King's " Thinner " .

On a bad note, Randi received some results back. She has cervical

cancer and needs to have laser surgery Saturday. In reading up on it

it appears that the procedure is primarily used on patients that have

Stage 0 cancer. The hope is that it's contained. It was difficult

because there was a celebration of my results and much sorrow for

hers. We are remaining positive though.

I would like to thank everyone for all of the Birthday wishes and

kind thoughts and prayers. I believe it really helped and am grateful

to have each of you in my life.

Wishing you all a pain free Thursday.

All my love,

Al

Hi Al...I am so glad your biopsies were clear, and I am so grateful they

caught Randi's early. You all will certainly stay in my prayers. I'm

sure your love & support mean the world to Randi. God bless you all

bunches.

Hugs of Hope, Always...

Great news that your biopsy results are normal, Al! Good luck on the

x-ray tomorrow. You sure are having a lot of testing fun.

Sorry that Randi's news isn't better, but it sounds like she's been

going for exams regularly and very much on top of things, so they should

have caught the cervical cancer very early. Her prognosis should be very

good.

The best of luck to her!

Iris,

Sorry to hear about your knee. Why is it doctors are always surprised when

a patient's condition turns out to be worse than they thought, I wonder?

I find it interesting how many times I've heard someone say their doctor

said the same thing, " you'll know when it is time to have a knee

replacement " . Ouch, sounds awful.

Glad you came through the procedure so well.

I'm sorry to hear Tucker isn't a candidate for a second band. I have

read of children continuing to round out, after graduating. So

hopefully that will happen w/Tucker.

Please let us know what EI has to say. They've done wonders with

. Good luck with your insurance. I hope you win!

Thanks for the update. Sounds like you have a good pediatrician.

That's great you've seen some improvment post band! That's what we

all hope for.

I'm sure Tucker will catch up with his speech soon, he's not even 2 :)
