Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Hi there , I have been out of the loop here for a few months so, I am not sure how much Plagio your son has. But you could tell your husband it will be harder later on to fit your son with say a bicycle helmet, football helmet or hockey helmet. This was one of the reasons we decided to band our daughter. It is a hard decision, I was there along with your husband at first. My husband and I sat down and talked about it. We finally decided we needed to do it for our daughter and leave our feelings out of it. I will say to date, it was the hardest and at the same time the best thing we have done for her. I wish you all the luck. Maybe he will come around. Would he email the board here? Then he could ask all the questions he has and maybe that may set him at ease. Lou a difficult husband IF anyone out there has any advice for a mom with a very difficult dad to deal with I would most appreciate it. You see he won't even consider it. He thinks that his son is perfect and that nothing is wrong. I belive that our son if perfect as well. But I am not going to ignore what the doctors say and what I can see with my two eyes. Please if anyone out there had this problem as well I could use some advice. ThanksFor more plagio info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 I do not know if it will help but, did your husband ever wear braces to straighten his teeth? Did you? Do either of you wear glasses? It doesn't mean you are not perfect if you wore braces, and the helmet is the same thing. If your son's teeth needed straightened you would not hesitate to do it, so why would his head be different? At least that is the logic my husband used with me. Have you shown him pics of kids with helmets? My sons helmet was pretty unique and..well.. cool! There are photos in the Aidan C file.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Hi , At first my husband was really for banding either. He said he felt that since Matt's a boy, he's not really going to care what shape his head is, but then I think it was all the other worries you have that go along with should you or shouldn't you band as well. He had mentioned that when he was younger, his father gave him the option to have some dental sugery and decided against it. And the fact that his jaw line and bite is not perfect has not effected him in life. One of the things that changed his mind was that doesn't have a choice. If we waited until is old enough to say whether or not he would want to get a band, it would be too late. If we decided to do nothing, and then years later, our son came to us and asked why we didn't do anything so simple when we could have to fix his head, how would we feel. We decided we would regret not banding him and always wonder what if, so then we decided to go for it. Another thing that helped was going for the free evaluation at Cranial Technologies and getting the exactly number to determine the degree of assymetry. When we saw that it met the criteria for thethe insurance company coverage, we thought, if it's bad enough for the insurance company to cover it, then maybe it's bad enough to band. I have to say that we are thrilled with the results. graduates this friday and I know that his head would not be as round as it is today without that band! Good Luck....It's a tough decision.... and /DOC/10-7-03 @10mos./PALou Callaway <loucal@...> wrote: Hi there , I have been out of the loop here for a few months so, I am not sure how much Plagio your son has.
