New To The Group!

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone! My name is Faith Marchant. I just had my first

appointment at Cranial Technologies in Clinton yesterday. I have twins

Chase and Paige who will be 4 months on Nov. 19th. They have

Torticollis and have shaping issues with their heads because of this,

their twinness and their premature birth (they were 4 wks early). I

have worked really hard to give them round shaped heads with my own

devices, but because of their neck condition and so forth, that is just

not to be. They are in physical therapy though, and are doing great!

Anyways, we had our consultation yesterday, and are just waiting to get

insurance approval stuff over with, but I was told there would be no

problems with ours. I am just curious about the best ways to paint and

decorate the bands. Thanks!

Hello Faith,

welcome to the group. It can be really hard to fight plagio when tort

is present. The band will be so much easier for you than trying to do

it by repo. You'll still need to work on the tort, but their heads

should improve fairly quickly once you band, especially because your

babies are young and growing fast. stickers are the easiest way to

decorate, but people also paint docbands. you'll probably get some

replies, but also check out the Files section for the group - I think

there are some tips there.

Hey Faith,

I don't know if you remember but right before you brought your twins in my daughter and I came out. Her name is Tori and you were asking me about the stickers on her band. Just wanted to welcome you. Where are you from? Do you have to travel far? I love this group and Im sure you will too. I was so surprised my insurance approved the band in one day. We have Husky A. Well just wanted to say hi and its nice to put a name to a face.

I absolutely remember you! Like you said, it's so nice to have a name

to go with the face! I saw Tori's pic on the website and she looked

adorable!!! We live in Naugatuck, so it takes us a little over an hour

to get to C.T. I am so glad to have someone to know personally now,

whom I can speak to about the DOC Band. Let me know if you ever want

to chat on the phone!
