Guest guest Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 - Thanks for the email... yes I just got it (hadn't checked before!). I have been going back and forth with whether or not to keep her in this band until we get the new one; basically I am taking it off when she is awake(and off her head) and putting it on for her to sleep. Just this afternoon after her bath, I was really looking at her head, and it almost seemed worse. It's a little rounder, maybe, but the bossing of her forehead and cheek, and the asymmetry in her eyes are no better, possibly worse. Ahhhhh! What to do! I think I might call CT in the Chicago area tomorrow to see if they can help us. I'll let you know what I find out! > > > > Today we went in (yes, on Sat. since the orthotist was > > > > on call at the hospital anyway) and he played around with is > > some > > > more, > > > > and ultimately ended up scanning her for a new band.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 Wow ! I can totally understand your frustration. Whenever I hear of foam pieces being added/removed it seems like those end up with fit problems. The band should not cover her ear, sometimes when they are laying a little of the band might cover an ear but sitting up shouldn't at all. Is it irritating her? Can you post a picture of the ill fit?

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 , Please keep her band off of her. I'd hate to hear another story of a band causing more damage. Please let us know what you decide to do. If you do call Cranial Tech let us know what they say. Good luck. > > > > > Today we went in (yes, on Sat. since the orthotist was > > > > > on call at the hospital anyway) and he played around with is > > > some > > > > more, > > > > > and ultimately ended up scanning her for a new band.
