Second band- advice needed

April 24, 2008

We went for our app. at CT this week. Our clinician said that Logan

will have another 4 weeks in this band, as he is quickly outgrowing

it. That will make 13 weeks total in the band. There are still some

areas that are asymmetrical and she said we will not see 100%

correction. Logan had moderate plagio to start with (8mm) We took

some new measurements but he was extremely active during the

measurements (so I am not sure how accurate they are) but they didn't

show as much improvement as we thought we were seeing. Now the

clinician said if she was seeing Logan for the first time, he would be

borderline as to if she would recommend banding or not. We aren't sure

what we want to do now! We drive 3 hours each way to our CT apps. and

were really looking forward to being done. Also, we were happy with

the improvements that had been made until we heard the current

measurements and then started really scrutinizing his head again.

Logan is almost 10 mos. now so she couldn't guarantee we would see a

lot more correction but thought we would see some. I'm really confused

at this point and am looking for advice from others who have been

there. Thanks, Amy in NY
