Re: Is the helmet the ONLY way and can you look at some pics of her head??

Bobbi,

LMAO! I am tired too, that's why I am stupid, but eventually I'll

pick it up,LOL. I mean, I think get as much as you can out of the

band and then hope for more post band correction is all you can do at

this point. As long as the tort is resolved that shouldn't be causing

a problem, but you will see it return a bit with illness, stress,

teething and such so don't freak if she looks worse now and then

during those times. Dominick still has a slight bit of facial

asymmetry but only I would know it, but it was the best we could hope

for.
