Thanks .

I'm so happy that you took it for just what it was, my honest

opinion. I think it's really important for us old timers to be

honest with the members of this group. The day we can't say what we

really feel is the day this group should no longer be. I appreciate

your understanding! Good luck on Friday, I'll be looking for your

update post.

You are absolutely right, and phrased it really well (I'll have to

write it down to say to my family lol!). Thanks for all of your help.

I'll let you guys know how it goes on Friday.

Well ,

I'll be honest with you, Aidan is 2.5 and the top part of his flat

spot has never filled in. BUT, he didn't increase his head

circumference at all during 7.5 months and two bands. He just

didn't grow. No one's fault. It stinks but I'm not sorry that I

pursued every avenue.
