Guest guest Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Thank you for sharing your positive first day. I am glad Kody adapted right away: I am the mother of a baby who did not..... I hope you get good result really soon. Valeria (Lucia, 7.5 mo, DOC band 5/12/04) --- In Plagiocephaly , " melanymoss " <melanymoss@y...> wrote: > At 17 months and 3 weeks, Kody is banded!!

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 hi melany, kody looks awesome in his band!!, isn't it amazing how 9 times out of 10 the band and the idea of them wearing it affects US more than it does Them...lol. kathryn reacted the same way and now when we do her " freetime " she looks for her band. she also loves to have her head rubbed when we do PT. good luck and we hope to see you on the 8th. kelly(mom to kathryn,plagio/brachy/tort,banded 5/03, texas) > > melanymoss <melanymoss@y...> wrote: > At 17 months and 3 weeks, Kody is banded!!

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Hi Melany, Thats great news! I'm glad Kody is adjusting so well. How did he sleep w/it? Hannah (17 mos, born 12/23) has seen some growth/correction between our two week adjustment, which should be encouraging to you. I hope Kody has some big growth spurts soon . I usually tell kids it's like braces people wear on their teeth and they understand that pretty well. , mom to Hannah, DOCband #3 3/30 Cape Cod, Ma --- In Plagiocephaly , " melanymoss " <melanymoss@y...> wrote: > At 17 months and 3 weeks, Kody is banded!!
