Re: Asher update--What Now?

[Guest guest]

Hi , Awww I'm sorry to hear that! By no growth, do you mean

no greater change in circumference? Becasue as I learned it is still

possible to acheive correction with a re-distrbution of the volume of

the head, but not necessarily the circumference size. Have you taken

some before and after shots from all of the angles? I found that

helped me immensely. In fact, I have more to post right now....

Hi

I hope that Asher has a great growthspurt in the next 3wks.

Does the band still fit him? I would ask them to leave him in it

till he outgrows it. Many of our kids had growthspurts beyond the

13month mark. Let us know what they say.

Oh ,

I'm so sorry. I know how you feel. My son didn't increase his head

circumference hardly at all while he was banded. He didn't receive

nearly the correction that I hoped for. But, like you I had no

regrets, we did our best.

Hugs to you,

Natasha

I just wanted to add that Jenna didn't have much growth in circumference

while banded. But as Sue said the growth was redistributed in areas needed.

She has some comparisons in the before and afters under STArbands. She was

brachy/plagio.
