Dominick has had a FANTASTIC first week

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

We have had a fantastic first week in the Doc Band, if you don't

count mommy's cold. He adjusted really well from the start. We had a

few issues w/ red marks and such, but all in all, not too bad.He

spent one day rolling his head back and fourth, and it worried me at

first, until we realized he had just figured out that he could do

that now with the band on. He then put that to work for him and began

trying to do everything he couldn't before. He has amazed us with

rolling not only from tummy to back, but from Back to Tummy for the

first time on his own. He found his toes finally and tries to eat

them. I cannot get over the increase in movement in this baby just

from having a round head to use. I never realized how restricted he

was from having the flat spot. When I saw the determination in him, I

began intensive therapy and we have worked really hard this week. He

is improving with all areas except the backwards tilt and the eating.

But I can say, the therapy seems to be more effective with the band.

I do take it off for the big stretches, but he has more issues than

just his neck so it is on for alot of it. Maybe I won't need the EI

therapist by Monday,LOL.

We had our first appointment since his fitting yesterday. The OT said

that she expected to just check his skin condition, but she had to

make an adjustment already because of his growth. She did do a small

release for the red mark that is always there and it is now just a

pink spot that fades quickly. He may have a spot there throughout

treatment, but it is where the band grabs the head so not much more

can be done there. I am fine w/ that. He also needed a release in the

forehead on the growth side, YIPPEE!

I am going to post a picture so you can look at the difference

already. I was totally amazed, he changed enough to see even without

comparing him to his headsicle,( it hasn't come in yet.). This week

has been just as exciting to us as the day he was born, it's like

getting a whole new baby. Today we go to the ophthamologist to get

his vision checked and rule out ptsosis (droopy eyelids). So I'll let

you know what happens. For anyone sitting on the fence with a young

one, PLEASE DON'T WAIT, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW THAT FLAT SPOT EFFECTS

THIER DEVELOPEMENT!

Thanks for the great update.

Please let me know what the ophthalmologist sais. I'm very curious

to hear what is going on.

I'm glad you're so happy w/your decision Carol and of course that

Dominck is doing so well. Hannah also rolled for the first time

both ways right after getting her helmet (the day after actually!).

I'm sure it is much easier to roll on a rounded surface!
