[Guest guest]

Glad to hear that the fitting and break-in period are going so well.

It's amazing how quickly they adjust! Hope the sleeping goes well for you.

him at all! My son was the same way and it shocked me. Keep us

That's great Sue! Kids are remarkable aren't they?? My daughter

never liked wearing hats, or hair pieces as an infant either, so I

really feared the worse when we put the band on, but nope, she

didn't care either!

It also sounds like you have a great orthotist Keep us posted,

he's rounding as we speak!
