Re: Riley got her DOC Band yesterday and is doing GREAT!

[Guest guest]

Lizzie,

Thanks for the update. Be sure to watch those pink spots closely.

Did they go away within an hour? If not she might need an

adjustment. Mulitple adjusts in the first few days are ok, they

sometimes need to be tweeked just a bit for the perfect fit.

Good luck and keep us posted on how she's doing. Have you decorated

it yet?

Lizzie, sounds great! I would still do the skin checks today as

well....can never be too sure. Sounds like she's got a great fit and

will do just fine in her new DOCband!! Congrats

Hi Lizzie,

I'm glad Riley is doing well in her band. Since you did have pink

spots, I'd still keep a good eye on them today. As long as they

keep fading they're fine. The " angry face " thing is very common and

may happen the whole time she's banded. Hannah never cared when she

had it, but it always bugged me so I'd open her velro and open the

band an inch or so to let her forehead fix itself.

Hi Lizzie,

It's great to hear how well Riley is adjusting to her band. :-) Keep a

close eye on those pink spots. It's very common in the beginning of

treatment to need an adjustment or 3 before the " just right " fit is

found. Keep us posted.

Lizzie,

That's great that she is adjusting so well. You sound right on top of

things, right down to the angry eyes knowledge, so she is in great

hands. The eye thing will stop in a few days when she grows some

more. Keep us posted on how she does.
