Re: Aidan's pics - opinions on 2nd band

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Aidan is a doll, what a little chubba!! If he were my son, I'd get

him another band. I say if it's an option for you, do it. Good luck

making your decision, and please let us know what you decide to do.

If you are up for it, I'm sure that you could see a little more

correction from a 2nd band. I know exactly what you are talking

about from the bottom up, same thing happened with my Aidan. For

us, I'm sorry to say, his never did fill in at the top but he was

much older when banded. I'm sure that you'll have more success.

Hey ,

Gosh is Aidan cute . I can still see the areas you're concerned

with, and I think that he would see further progress in another

band. Be sure to let us know how his appt at Yale goes. I think

you have to look at the treatment in terms of when you're happy

w/his headshape, not when he grows out of the band--this makes it

easier to digest I think!

Hi !

Aidan's profile looks really good. I can see the area that you're

concerned about in the top view. I admire your strength to keep

going.
