Re: Getting star band Monday

[Guest guest]

Hi Angie and Jenna, I will put some pictures on this evening. I

have been taking " before pictures " also, but she has so much hair,

it really disguises the flat area. No I am not close to the

location it is 60 miles round trip but if today it is still sitting

on her ear I will call/go back. How old was Jenna when she got her

band? So Jenna had her band for 3 months, was this the length of

time they originally planned, or did she grow faster or slower then

expected? They told me 12 weeks, but she is a really big baby, and

I am hoping she will mend faster than they expect. THANKS! Yvette

was one issue we didn't have to deal with. We also had Jenna's band

from October to January in the colder months. From what others have

said I would dress her in lighter clothes.
