Hi Tina,

I just read the last few posts you made about your band. It really

sounds like a pretty bad situation. I'm not sure I would give them

anymore chances to adjust that band before demanding a re-cast and

brand new band. The DOC people really are experts and I'm so

surprised to hear the trouble you are having. It's just terrible!

It's bizarre to hear that they are telling you to lie him on his

right side only. Actually, the whole thing sounds bizarre. Don't put

the band back on until all the redness and sores are gone. It sounds

like his skin is breaking down and that is a really bad thing.

Where are you located? I'm so puzzled by this because it is

incredibly rare to hear people have trouble with the DOCband people.

I'm thinking re-cast and new band personally. I'm not sure I would

allow my baby to wear the band the way you describe it at this point.

Can you tell us a little bit more about Zander? I would be interested

in hearing a little more of his plagio story. Also, could you keep us

posted on how things are going for him? It is very unusual for babies

to not adjust to their bands and so it seems that he might have an

ill-fitting band.
