Re: doesn't always improve on its own...

January 24, 2008

Hi group.

I changed the subject line of this mail... there are a few moms on the

board wondering " is the ped right? will his head get better on its

own? " Well here is a real life example that it doesn't always get

better on its own. Something to think about. Of course the dad says

it is not noticable under his hair - but what about swimming and if he

is bald later in life? I'm not trying to pick on this dad, just point

out that the dad didn't say " the doctor was right, it is perfectly

fine now " . And I admit to being very pro-band since we had a great

experience :-)
