Re: Lori in FL--Update on Christian!

[Guest guest]

Hi Lori,

I am so glad to hear that things are better now! What a relief for

you. Christian will get used to the helmet soon and getting it on him

will get a lot easier. Looking forward to the pictures.

Thanks so much for a good update Lori!! I'm happy to hear things are

better & look forward to seeing a SMILING Christian modeling his

newly trimmed band

You say getting the helmet on him is a " chore " still though? It

should be pretty simple to put on & take off.

-Thanks for the great update! I'm glad Christian is doing so

great! I had trouble putting Jenna's band on at first because it

was a bit akward. After putting it on her a few times it became

easy. Keep us posted.

Lori,

I'm so happy to hear this! Yah Christian is on his way to a rounder

head. Keep an eye on his band, it shouldn't be hard to take it off

and put it on. I was a little spastic in the beginning of 's

treatment, I hated putting her band on and taking it off. Please keep

us posted on Christian's progress.
