Pics of Hannah's Digitized Head & Casting for DOC #3

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I have posted pictures in the " Hannah B " folder of her head mold

done with Cranial Tech's digitizer at the moderator conference in

Phoenix. You can even see her crying face! How neat is that?

Everyone who looks at it says, " wow, it even looks like her! " I

always say, " well, it is her! " LOL

Hannah was also casted for DOCband #3 yesterday in Connecticut,

almost four months after her " graduation. " We decided she still has

a significant enough amount of assymetry (and didn't seem to be

seeing any post graduation rounding) for a third band to help. We

can't say for sure if she actually had any regression because we

didn't do an exit cast, and even though her head is so much better

than a year ago, we still don't feel as though she'd be happy if

this is her head shape for life. So, we're jumping on the small

window of time we have left (she is 14 months) and are keeping our

fingers crossed that our little petite girl will start to grow! I

thought the casting would be horrible given her age, but it was

really no worse than how she cried for the pictures and even the

digitizer. Of course the digitizer takes less than a second, but

the pictures took longer than the casting and I'd say were way

harder on her!

That poor pitiful face! Awwwwww. She's so cute. How cool is that

head mold??? Amazing what they can do!

I'm hopeful she'll hit some good growth spurts over the next several

mos & have some addt'l correction from this band.

Let us know when it's in, hope she'll keep it on her head!

Wow ---GREAT head mold. It really made it more clear in regard to being able to see the asymmetry that still remains. Wow--- a third band. You are a serious trooper. I completely understand, though. I'm sure I would have done the same thing. Especially if I had 's digitalized head there in front of me. Hannah will absolutely appreciate what you are doing for her. For your sake, I hope CT picked up the cost of the band (ha Ha). I hope it all goes smoothly for you. Thinking of you.
