Guest guest Posted February 9, 2002 Report Share Posted February 9, 2002 Dear Beck, Thanks for the concern. Sorry I'm a little slow to reply. Max did get his DOC band Thursday. It took him about 5 minutes to adjust to it. My husband & I are still getting used to seeing him in it, but we are really happy that we're finally making progress toward a round head. I'm also glad that I've been reading the postings for this group as it has helped me be prepared for the slight looseness of the band. Max's skin is tolerating the band well, however, he moves a lot in his sleep & tends to push the band onto this bridge of his nose while sleeping. He has a little skin irritation there. Tonight I'll check the band position after he's been asleep a while. I searched the old posts for painting tips this week. Despite what their website said, my local s craft store only had 1 kind of plastic paint which takes 48 hours to cure. I was determined to find something in the store to decorate Max's band because every kid we passed in the store whispered to his mother about what was on Max's head. I bought some paint pens which say they work on plastic, dry quickly & are non-toxic. Hopefully they'll work. My husband's in charge of decorating - he's quite artistic & I'm artistically challenged.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2002 Report Share Posted February 10, 2002 Eileen, Good to hear that Max adjusted so quickly! Hooray!! I've heard the paint pens work really well so that should be a good choice. You could also use some stickers and then cover them with clear nail polish for a quick decorating idea. I'll bet that band will slip around less after the first few weeks. Let us know how it is going and how the paint pens work.
