Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 > Anyway, the situation now is that he is now 18 mos and at the last appt (Jan 3) the ortho said to take the band off because it wont make any difference now. The problem is I wasn't there to hear her explanation. Last time I went she said to keep it on for as long as possible, until he outgrows the band. My husband and rest of family want it off. He is not wearing it now. What do you think? I am particularly concerned because he sleeps on his back. Could I leave it on only at night? I thought that might be OK because his head is growing really slowly right now. Hi : I just posted a message/question to you last night! Your ears must've been ringing. Personally, I would keep the band on him as long as I could if there is still some flatness. You've come this far, you might as well go the long haul. I know how sick of it you & your family must be. Cranial Tech. treats up til age 2. 's head growth has slowed, but it is still slowly growing which could/will result in more improvement. yes, you could leave it on him just at night if that's what you desire. I've heard a lot of parents do that at the end of their child's treatment. My question to you last night, was does wear glasses?? I ask only cuz I searched the archives last night about glasses & helmet wearing and saw a reply Niki had made to you saying that could wear his glasses once he graduated. If so, there's a new member of the group who's concerned about her child wearing both a band & glasses. Good luck with your decision, it sounds especially difficult becuz your family is ready to be done with it. Let us know what you decide on.
