I have decided to try the STAR band first because it is closer to us. The DOC band clinic is 4 hours away in Atlanta. I am in the Savannah, GA area. I do hope that we do not have the same results as you did. I am sorry that you had to go through that ordeal. I work and cannot imagine making weekly trips to Atlanta. I know most of you have had to do it and I admire you, but for me right now, it is not the way to go. Does anyone have experience with Savannah or heard anything? If the CT clinic were closer, I would definitely use them. The trip is an issue for us.

Abby has flattening on her right side. She is 5 months old and an absolute sweetie. We are in the process of getting a MRI done, PT setup for tort, and the band. This all has been overwhelming to me. I just thought her head would round out on its own, but it has not happened. So that's where we are in the process.

LeAnn,

It would be a good idea to interview the ortho who will be making your

STARband before you go in for an appointment. Make sure the ortho has lots of

experience making the STARband and treating infants. If you find someone who

is experienced and skilled then your experience with the STARband should be a

good one. I can understand about the drive being an issue. I wouldn't have

been able to do it either - my hubby and I opted for a locally made helmet

and had very good luck with it. There are lots and lots of people here who

had a good experience with the STARband and if your ortho is experienced and

professional you should be OK.

Good luck!

Thanks for all of your words of encouragement. It helps to know others are out there, going through the same thing that we are. Keep in touch with your little ones. I am very interested in what each of you have to say.
