Re: had his first adjustment

[Guest guest]

Deb,

Great news! I'm glad he's growing! I've actually just started

noticing a little improvement in Hannah.

Gotta love those comments. I actually got more when she was

younger, I think probably because she couldn't even sit up yet, let

alone fall down alot. It seems like thats what lots of people

assume at that newly walking stage, so maybe when they're younger

people are left guessing more.

Hi Deb!

That's so great! I'm so glad everything is going so well! Maybe he

should eat double!!

When sarted wearing her band I expected everyone to ask

what it was for. Surprisingly, most people don't say a thing and

don't even look at us funny or anything! When we travel down to CT

every week we have some regular stops that we make at various McD's,

etc. People have been so incredibly warm and friendly to us. I

asked my Mom, who usually goes with us, whether she thought that

people were going out of their way to be nice because they feel sorry

for us (I think that people usually assume that the helmet has

something to do with a head injury). She said no, she just thinks

that they are nice people who would probably go out of their way to

be nice anyway! She's probably right! A few people have

specifically asked us what it was for and they are very interested

and think it's just great! The only odd commeent we got was

yesterday at the osteopath's office. This woman (who appeared to be

a bit scattered anyway) looked back at us and quietly said oh what a

neat safety helmet (do they make such a thing?--maybe?) and then she

looked away to pay her copay. I didn't bother to correct her.

When you go out do you just completely forget that he has his band

on? I do--and then I remember why we may have gotten a couple of

double takes!

Best to you,

Deb,

How encouraging that you already needed an adjustment! It sounds as

if you caught a bit of a growth spurt, and that's always good news

for correction.

Has settled in to wearing his band okay?

Take care,
