My Son Is Officially A Graduate!

[Guest guest]

My son Christian graduated from his Doc band today!! Whoo-hoo!! I am

so excited. He was originally diagnosed with left plagio and

torticollis. After 12 weeks of wearing the band and doing stretches

we are done. Although, we will continue to do the stretches for his

tort.

Today was our last appt and I am so stoked. Christian's head looks

great and we got the band off just in time for his 1st birthday. He

turns 1 on July 25th. Christian originally measured at 18mm of

asymmetry and he is now down to 6mm. His standard deviation was at

a .5 and he is now down to a .18. The PT doesn't think he would

benefit from another band. The area where his 6mm of asymmetry falls

makes it very unnoticeable. I can't wait to kiss my son's head while

I rock him to bed tonight.

I want to thank every member on this plagio group. You have all been

so extremely helpful and encouraging. The first day Christian

received his band I was literally in tears for fear of what he would

have to endure. I struggled and struggled with my decision but deep

down knew it was the best thing for him. I didn't want the stares and

people feeling sorry for him or looking at my son like he had a

disability. Turns out he did great from day one and I was the one who

needed to deal with it all. Our babies are way stronger than we give

them credit for. For all of you mommies and daddies who are

struggling with the decision to band or not to band..I highly

recommend doing it. It goes by so fast and the results are

phenomenal. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Good Luck and God Bless!
