Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Hi & welcome! Has Connor outgrown this band? Do you think he needs more correction? If so, then perhaps get him into a new 2nd band if this current band no longer fits. Did ins. cover this band? Many members have needed more than 1 band to achieve optimum correction. How old is Connor? Sorry for the 20 ?'s! Debbie MI --- In Plagiocephaly , " kevinchunt " <kevinchunt@y...> wrote: > Hello.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Hi, I just want to second Debbie and to mention that if there is still life left in his band, you can tell your orthotist that you'd like him to contiue to wear it. You have nothing to lose by keeping him in his band until it no longer fits. Let us know what your ortho says. --- In Plagiocephaly , " kevinchunt " <kevinchunt@y...> wrote: > Hello.
