SO Discouraged after 2 1/2 mos! HELP

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone:

I've posted about this a while ago, but am again so discouraged. Our

daughter, Abby rec'd her STAR band 11/4/00 - at age 8 mos.. She has

moderate plagio on her right side. We took her to her ped. yesterday

for a double ear infection, she had her band off due to a high fever,

I asked her ped. if he's seen ANY improvement, and he has not. Nor

have I. I am so discouraged. I didn't expect to see a perfectly

round head after only 2 mos., but some improvement, even the

slightest would be great! Our orthotist keeps saying she needs to

hit a growth spurt, well she's already put on nearly 3 lbs and gotten

longer since she was banded! How much more growing can a 26 lb- 10

1/2 mo old do? What is the problem???? I guess I'm wondering if

anyone else had a similar situation? Right now I have a very bad

attitude about it and haven't had her in the band for over 1 day, as

I say to myself " What's the point, she's been in it over 2 mos with

NO improvement " . I know, I know, I need to stay upbeat, but it's so

frustrating. I do NOT regret getting the band for one second though,

even if it does not work, at least I did my best as a parent. Sorry

to ramble on with my bad attitude, but you can all relate to my

frustrations, thank you for " listening " !

Debbie & Abby, 3/1/00 - band 11/4/00
