Re: 3rd day in Starband-need reassurance

[Guest guest]

Hi , I know EXACTLY how you feel. My son Ian was banded on

Friday also with the starband and I swear your message took the words

right out of my mouth. I was going to post my own message but, yours

said all that I was going to. I am sick over Ian's helmet. I hate

how it makes his eyes smush I don't like how he sweats so bad it runs

down his face. I hate how is presses on his cheeks. Everything about

it. Tonight is his first night sleeping in it because like you, I

couldn't bare to have him sleep in it all night last night. He

actually dosn't even seem to mind it very much. It is bothering me

very much though. Did your Orthoist put it on loose at first? Ours

put it on very loosly so he would adapt to it easier then this week I

think he is going to make it tighter. So, really it isn't even

working now. Well, I know how you feel so, if you need anyone to

talk to I am here. Good Luck!!!!
