Re: B. got second band---question regarding fit

December 20, 2003

Hi - Xavier's 2nd band fit differently too though his seemed

way to big, it actually covered his eye brows. I would say that CT

knows what they are doing and if the red spots are fading you should

be ok. Keep us posted!

Is that ok? My second concern is that is brachy and this time

the OT left very little room in the back for growth. Could she be

little room? These are things I would have asked if I had brought

marks but they do fade within the hour. Hope all is okay with the

fit. My husband spent the night in Miami and had the red spots

looked at twice the following day and the OT felt all was well. We

leave for Chicago on Monday. I guess if we have problems, we could

go to CT while we are up there. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi :

Gotta love husbands sometimes & their lack of questions! (noooo

offense to you men in the group!)

If you're still concerned with the fit and are in Chicago Monday, I'd

first call your Miami clinician & speak with her about your concerns,

and maybe go into the Oakbrook/Chicago office IF the red spots stay

longer than one hr.

I'd say the velcro is ok even if it's not reaching the end of the

strip to close it, I don't think Abby's ever did even.

Hope he gets the addt'l correction with this band you're looking for.

Merry Christmas to you all.

Hi there ! Although I know nothing about the velcro, I have

heard quite a few parents comment on how different the 2nd band fit

compared to the 1st. The most recent I would say has been Donna and

~Hannah's mom. Good luck getting it all worked out! Let us

know how is doing.

Merry Christmas!!
