Hi le

Great to hear that Jack adjusted after a hard first week. Many

bands need adjusting the first initial days. Keep us up on this

nogging rounding out. )

le,

Sorry you had such a rough beginning, but I'm so glad things have

taken a turn for the better! I'd love to see Jack in his band, so

let us know if you get the pics posted!

le,

That's great that adjustments to Jack's Starband lined things out,

and he is progressing already with his normal wear protocol! I'm

excited that you are already seeing some mild improvement; hopefully

he will have a growth spurt soon and you''ll see even more rounding!

Let us know how Jack continues to round in his Starband when you

have time,
