Laurie,

That's great news! Hopefully things will continue to go well. It

seems every time we go out someone comments on Aidan's band, either

they know someone whose child had one or they like the way it's

decorated. So many people have told me that they have a nephew or a

friend's child with a flat spot - and they don't even realize that

the bands work or even exist. I hope I am able to help some people

too. BTW have you posted any pics of ?
