Hello

The worst is over that is for sure. Casting is soo bad, but if you

think about it. This is only a few minutes of their little lives

which my daughter totally forgot about when she got the bath

afterwards. lol She loves baths.

, the casting to me was the worst part. I hated that, hated

that! You are right though, it doesn't mess with them except during

the moment. Did he get real happy in the bath? If you decide to

cast him again (for whatever reason), don't forget the lollipop. I

took one for my daughter the first time and between her and her

grandmother, they had it gone within the first 2 minutes, so from

then on, I took at least 3. hehe.... Let us know when 's

DOCBand gets there. Are you planning on decorating it?

Dustie, by the time he

got to the bath, I was lucky to wake him up enough to keep him from rolling

into the water, but he was very happy and fell right to sleep as soon as I

picked him up when it was done. I am planning on decorating his band, and I

will definitely keep you all posted once it comes in.

I talked to my mom and she said if you need anything

at all to let her know. If you need her email address

& phone, write to me and I'll give it to you. She

lives off Cliffdale Rd, so is pretty central to

everything and said y'all could go for coffee at a

bookstore, lunch or whatever you'd like. She's really

been a great support to me during my son's DOCBand

experience.

The casting is a horrible experience. No mother likes

to see their child put in uncomfortable situations

like that. But, it was 15 minutes max of his life and

a necessary part of his journey to a round noggin.

Good luck this week. My son, Judah goes to get his

2nd DOCBand tomorrow. We're dreading it now only

because it took almost two months for my insurance

company to get their poop together and he's gotten a

lot more independent since then. We'll be picking up

some Goody barrettes on the way home, for sure, to

keep him from pulling the velcro tab open. I hope he

takes to the 2nd band as well as he did the 1st.

Eeeeeee!

I feel terrible, because I am leaving my poor husband

to deal with it on his own for the next two weeks

while I go to a conference in London. The timing

couldn't be worse! Thankfully, my mother-in-law lives

on a cattle ranch near College Station and has offered

to keep him for part of that time to give my husband a

break.

Yes, I would like to

have your mom’s e-mail address and phone number. We live off of Cliffdale Rd. too,

so it can’t be that far away. Things have been crazy around here

for about the last month. My soon to be husband got home from Iraq a

month ago and I’m trying to teach him to do everything the way it’s

supposed to be done with both kids, he’s a slow learner when it comes to

this stuff. He thinks that he can get away with play time only, and he

doesn’t like to assist in tummy time, since hates it. I’m

working on all of it and I think I have finally found a way to get him to

understand better. I take him to all of the appointments with us so that

he’ll get the information right from the professionals, if I can call

them that. So far, I’m still not very impressed with the

pediatrician. He’s great when it comes to the small stuff, but he

refuses to do anything without sending us to Durham

or Chapel Hill for a thorough diagnosis from a

specialist. Most of the time it wouldn’t bother me, but if he’s

going to send us to an orthopedist who isn’t a pediatric specialist, why

can’t we see one in Fayetteville.

And, he doesn’t know anything about what a DOC band is or why I would

want to use one. He was suggesting repositioning for , his plagio is

severe enough that even if I could get him to stay in the position I put him

in, it wouldn’t do any good. I don’t have the measurements

yet, I forgot to ask for them on Wednesday, but when we go back for the band, I

am getting a copy of his official before pictures and I will ask for the

measurements then.

Time to go, wants

to eat.
