Guest guest Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Thanks Sue for your input. Jaden was born with an absolutely perfectly round little head (which is unusual!), and knowing that, and knowing all that I know now about plagio, I would band him because from a bird's eye view his little noggin' looks so square, and he needs more to come out on the top back 1/2 of his head. I want him to have that perfect little head he was born with. It's only fair. That was a good question you asked me and I am glad you did that. It just reassures me about my decision to put him in a 2nd band. How is Collin doing in his StarBand? How much progress have you seen so far? ~Amy, mommy to Jaden 9 mo's MN CranioCap Grad! 8/6/04 Started Chiro 6/29/04 mild tort/mild scoliosis > > Howdy everyone, > > We are doing an exit type appt w/ Jaden's Craniofacial Surgeon, the > > one who wrote the script for his CranioCap and PT for his tort. > > Jaden was officially done w/ his helmet last Friday, altho I am > > having him still wear it.
