Congratulations to your whole family! It's great to hear that

graduation time actually comes. I'm sure it seems so far away for

some of us. Sorry to hear about your mom. I hope she's doing

better. I'm so glad that you're happy with the amount of

correction. I think that's the most important part!

How long did he have to wear the DOC bands?

[Guest guest]

Annie,

Congratulations to Ignacio on his graduation!!! You are incredible

with all of the travelling for treatment and twins situation, and

I'm glad Ignacio was able to see such great improvement!! I hope

you will stick around the group if you can!

I am terribly sorry to hear about your mom; I am thinking of your

family and hope that she feels better soon.

Take care,

Yeah for Ignacio! I'm so happy that you are done! Just reading your

posts I became exhausted for you. I don't know how you managed the

travel, the twins, everything. You are SUPERMOM!

I hope your mom will be better soon.

Wow Annie, CONGRATULATIONS!!! I'm so impressed by you and your

abilities to manage the twins, make all these CT trips, and continue

on with the rest of your life too! You must be happier that you can

express to be done with those trips and though you might not have

gotten the results you were hoping for with the second band, I'm

sure you're happy with his overall correction. I hope you'll be

able to pop in still and say hi and I also hope your mom is doing

better soon.

Hello... Ignacio started treatment (DOC #1) on December 2, 2003 and

DOC #2 was placed on February 17, 2004. He was banded for exactly 5

months. His cranial vault assymetry, which was the most prominent

one, came down from 12mm to 5mm getting the most correction with the

first band. His facial and ear assymetry was corrected mostly with

the second band.

Annie,

Congratulations!!!! I am so happy for you and Ignacio. Nate's

cranial vault assymetry is also 5 mm. You just have to remember the

amount of improvement he has made. I think Nate's head looks great

and I am sure so does Ignacio's. I am sorry to hear about your

mother, that must be very difficult. I don't post much anymore but I

do read the posts. I hope you continue to be a member.
