That is so wonderful to hear. I am very happy for you and Lake. It

must feel so good to be assured that you did the right thing. Thank

you for sharing it. You have helped other parents and children

already!

It's so heartwarming to hear that Lake is already seeing some great

improvement from his DOCband - it must be a big affirmation of your

decision to band. These products really DO work, even though they

can be scary for some parents to consider when they first think

about a helmet on their baby's head, and I very much appreciate your

sharing Lake's progress with the group.

Take care,
