Re: What company is best?

LeAnn,

My son is the same age as your daughter and we are at the same place

you are in the process. I live in Seattle, WA and our only local

option is a helmet. I wish we could go DOC band or even STARband.

Like you, we thought the rounding would happen on its own (as our

ped. kept telling us too). I too felt overwhelmed but this is a

fixable thing (not to make light of it), but as my husband pointed

out some of the other children at our Children's Hospital with severe

problems, it helped me to put things into perspective. It's still

very tough to have our children have even the slightest thing wrong I

know. My son was on oxygen for 4 days when he was born and had to

have kidney surgery when he was 3 months old. We are so grateful

that he's doing well now. The helmet will be just another story we

can tell him about when he gets older. (I guess). Anyhow, keep on

having fun with your little sweetie. Let everyone know how things

are going with the STARband.

> 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.
