Guest guest Posted January 22, 2002 Report Share Posted January 22, 2002 Hey, Debbie. I have a question for you. Since Abby's and Kendall's lives seem to be so similar (same age beginning first helmets, same age beginning DOCbands, same clinic, etc. etc.)... when Abby finished her DOCband at 15 months or so, did CT recommend a second band for her? Or, did they pretty much say that she was basically done? I know you didn't opt for a second band, but was just wondering what they recommended for you. Kendall has been in hers 2.5 months so far. They are recommending that she get a second helmet and that she get it earlier than normal - 3.5 months instead of 4 or 5. They want to get her into a " new " helmet so that she will have a " more active " helmet sooner since she's getting old (funny to say about a 14 month old!). We have had some correction, but we'll probably go ahead with the second helmt because she still isn't really bothered by it. She hasn't tried taking it off yet or anything. Anyway, I was just wondering they had said about Abby. Thanks for your feedback! Debbie and Kendall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2002 Report Share Posted January 22, 2002 Debbie: No, they did not recommend Abby getting a 2nd band. I was really surprised at that too. I would not have gotten another one anyway to be honest. Kay did mention to us early into her treatment, that they might want to get her into a 2nd band earlier than normal, just like Kendall, but that was the last I had ever heard about that. Oh, oh, the little sickling is coming after me. I'm home sick with her - she's still getting high temps now & then. Now has a horrible cough too Goood luck, it sounds like Kendall's head is coming along! Keep it up. Have travels til then (ugggg) Debbie Abby's mom DOCGrad MI > Hey, Debbie.
