Guest guest Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 I've heard of swollen lymph nodes before but not to this extent. I know parents have had to leave the band off for fevers and illness for a few days. If it looks like it's going to be a super long time, that would probably not be good. But if it's just a few days, hopefully it will be fine. Please keep us posted. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Poor guy. I've heard of swollen lymph nodes, but this sounds worse than most. Maybe you can leave it off, but schedule an adjustment for early next week to make sure the fit is good. -christine sydney 2 yrs starband grad > > Hi Everyone, > > I wrote last week after my son started wearing his DOC band and was > having some issues adjusting.
