8.5 weeks in DOC band w/ 2-4 to go

[Guest guest]

Nate has had his band 8.5 weeks and yesterday we were at CT. His

original Plagio was 12 mm cranial vault assym and 96% cephalic index.

So, moderate plagio and severe brachy. We have about 2-4 weeks left

until he outgrows the band. I have been fretting about another band

and my husband doesn't think it is necessary. He says he is perfect.

We had pics and measurements yesterday and he is now 4 mm CVA and

87.2% cephalic index. The pics were amazing. I am really impressed

with how much correction in such a short time although I wouldn't mind

more correction. CT is leaving it up to us. They said he could go

either way. Knowing how easy the band is I just don't want to regret

not getting a second band. I do think he looks great though and he

should now fit in a standard bike helmet. I really would like to just

have the one band. Ugh. What a decision. If anyone would like to

look at pics and tell me what they think I could email them to you.
