Re: Need a 2nd DOC band?

[Guest guest]

They said it was still in treatable range and said it was up to me. I'm getting

the scan this week.

months old next week and has been in his DOC band for 7 weeks. He has only one

week left before he is done. They are recommending he get a second band because

his ears are still asymmetrical. I don't know much about the numbers because our

clinician tends to use her knowledge and experience in place of the numbers on

paper to judge his progress...but she did tell me as far as total head asymmetry

he started at a 17 and is now at a 10. His ears started at 5mm and are now at

2mm. Judging from the photos he had taken he looks wonderful and has made

excellent progress. His ears will never be perfect but I am unsure as to whether

or not a second band will do him any good. Not sure if insurance will cover a

second one either? He also seems like he cannot do many things he should be

doing by now...for example, rolling over. He has rolled over without the band on

but not with it. I am very unsure of getting a second one and wanted to see if

anyone had any experience needing two! Thanks in advance.
