Guest guest Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Congratulations Tris and Colin! You'll have to celebrate the whole weekend, buy a " graduation " gift/toy for all that's he's been through. I was going to say maybe get him a new little ballcap or hat for the summer, but I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to just see his little bare head, now that it's bandless! Yes, stick around and give us your input! Take care and CONGRATULATIONS again!

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Tris, Congratulations to Colin on his graduation!!!! It really has been a journey for you all; I commend you for persisting in spite of all of the obstacles of your son's first experience with banding. I am so, so happy that you all were able to see great correction with his DOCband, and I do hope you stick around to help other future members from Florida.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 YEY TRIS AND COLIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations soooooooooooooooooooo much! Isn't it such a good feeling and an experience that you'll never regret going thru? I bet you can safely say that was the best decision you ever made now that hindsight is 20/20.
