Well, the adjustments that we made with the ear and the band just don't seem to be working for Jess. The band is still slipping on her right ear and the band is slipping off center again enough that I consider too much. I called the ortho and she and I agreed that she looks so good that we should just take it off for good. It just isn't worth the worry over a little bit more of correction. I can't believe it and am still getting use to the idea. My dh is traveling so I haven't really been able to be excited with anyone (adult, that is). She looks great and I know we did the right thing. It was so funny, today she kept bringing the helmet to me wanting me to put it on and I had to say no. What a feeling!To all of you who have provided such great support, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. This is a great group and I am not sure how I would have managed each day without checking in here and knowing answers were just a post away. I just wish I would have found you earlier. I plan on hanging around but I may need to take a bit of a break to de Plagio my life a bit. I am sure my dh would appreciate that. I will post pics of Jess before and after when I get a chance. She wore the bands for a total of 7 mos. Wow. I am going to call tomorrow and schedule exit cast and pics. I think I am still in shock. Good Luck All.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 What wonderful news Kim! Yeah Jess! I know Trentyn will be in shock when we finally graduate too. He has only been in it 7 weeks and he already tries to get it back on when it is off. Enjoy that bandless head! Jen- TXTrentyn- 14 mo.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 Thanks Lou. You will be there soon. How is doing these days? After jess trying to take the band off so much, now she misses it and wants it back on. I am going to have to hide it because every time I see, I want to put it back on her too. Good Luck to .

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 Thanks and . De Plagio is my goal altho I don't think it will be easy. I keep seeing little babies who aren't banded and then I see adults who should have been banded. My poor Mother said now she can't even watch TV without being distracted by these people who have assymetric features. I think we definitely need to have a celebration to help mark the end of this chapter so we all get use to the idea. If you think about it, we were concerned about her head from when she was 6 weeks old. She is 16 mos now, so it was actually on my mind everyday for almost 15 mos. That's incredible. Thanks again for the congrats.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 It does crack me up how mad he gets when I take it off. It will definitely be a change after he wears it 6 or 7 months to go bandless. But, we will enjoy it! Jen- TXTrentyn- 14 mo.
