Re: Update on Zack - Debby

[Guest guest]

Debby,

Well, it certainly is an adjustment for both of us!

I do miss it though, I wish he could wear it longer

and get more correction. There was no change in the

last 4 - 6 weeks he wore it. So, we got what we got!

It is still more than I expected, but like everyone

else, if it was mentioned a year ago....perhaps it

would have been near perfect correction! Hind site is

a wonderful thing! But other than that it is going

good. We still have to go back one more time for his

last head sickle. SO maybe we can schedule for the

same time???? This time I think I am going to take

Jarred too......

Talk to you later, Jill (Josh & Jarred's Mom)
