Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Tiernan has now been wearing his Hanger helmet for three weeks. We went in yesterday for a check up and he has had three mm improvement in that time. He is now only 8 mm assymetry. The ortho said he would be happy with another three or four mm, and then he would consider us done! He did warn me not to get my hopes up about it only taking another three weeks.... he said it could take two months, but whatever! I'll take what I can get!! I was soooooo happy when he told me how much improvement there has already been. For those of you still on the fence about whether or not to band your babies, it is definitely worth it!!!!

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Hi Candace! That's great news!!! It's so encouraging when you see progress, however slight, in the beginning! It makes all the possible doubts you may have felt beforehand seem to melt!! le, Utah; mommy to Barrett, 7m, severe brachy, helmet 11/20/06 Charlotte, nearly 2 Savannah, nearly 6mommyluvset <mommyluvset@...> wrote: Tiernan has now been wearing his Hanger helmet for three weeks.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 That is wonderful Candace! It seems like such a huge improvement for such little time. Good luck over the next three weeks!
