Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Hi Pam, Welcome to the group. My daughter Hannah received her second helmet at 8mos and it fit her for 14 weeks. She was measured at 10mm at the start of it, so that would be probably around the same severity as your . The life of a DOCband is about 16 weeks, so you can count on him being out of it then for sure. Hopefully he'll get some good growth spurts and be done sooner! Which CT are you using? , mom to Hannah, DOCband #3 3/30 Cape Cod, Ma > Hi there. > > Our son, , received his band on Friday. It is a DOC Band. He > has mild/moderate brach, and is 8 months.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Pam, The average time in a band is 4.5 months. It really depends on how your son grows. How is adjusting? > Hi there. > > Our son, , received his band on Friday. It is a DOC Band. He > has mild/moderate brach, and is 8 months.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Hi Pam, Welcome to the group. My dd was out of her band at 8 1/2 months so I'm not much help. However, the pp sound right on target. How is adjusting? Are you going to decorate? Which CT clinic are you going too? mom to na Doc 1 10/27 (4 1/2 months old) - 11/26 DOC 2 12/10 - 2/20 DOC GRAD!!

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 is adjusting rather well. It is very hot here... So, he is sweating and we are staying confined to the house until he adjusts. My mother-in-law is an artist and she painted it this weekend. Only problem is that the alcohol seems to strip the sealer. But, we will deal and do our best to keep it off of the art. We travel four hours (one way) to go to the LA clinic. What clinic did (I guess you probably still go for follow-ups) you go to? Thanks for the warm welcome, Pam > > Hi there. > > > > Our son, , received his band on Friday. It is a DOC Band. > He > > has mild/moderate brach, and is 8 months.
