UPDATE - Concerned about lump above ear

[Guest guest]

Crista, Sandy, , thank you very much about your feedback. I

was really nervous and hearing that it is a common thing really put

my mind at ease. Nevertheless, I went to see my Ortho today (it's

just a 30 minute drive). He confirmed what you have told me, but he

also made a little adjustment to the STARband. He added some foam

to make the ear cutout smaller and to distribute the pressure.

Jules, bring it up to your Ortho as well, maybe you will also need

an adjustment.

Thanks again! Oh and by the way, the Ortho said Nick's head looked

really good and if I had brought him in today he would have advised

me not to band. Isn't that great? After just three weeks of

treatment!

Hi Anya

That is wonderful news. Glad to hear that your ortho took it

serious, and adjusted as well. It will completely go away once you

are done.
