Sorry it took so long to reply. You know how it can be with a 15

month old, plus DH was out of town all week. Whew! I'm tired!

Trips are going okay, but I have to say it is really starting to get

old. Everything, the helmet, the travel, all of it. Kendall has

been in one type of helmet or another since July, and I really just

want to see her little head again. She got casted for her second DOC

band last week and it should be in next week. So, we have about 4

months left. We saw some good improvement the first month or two,

but I would say that in the past 6 weeks, there hasn't been any

change (probably adds to me wanting it gone). She's had some

improvement, but not as much as I'd like. Considering she didn't

start the DOC band til nearly 12 months I guess it is probably a

reasonable amount of improvement though. Kay keeps saying that

her head seems really stubborn (hope that isn't a sign of things to

come! LOL). It just doesn't want to do anything right behind her

ear. Still really flat and really angled. But, overall her head

shape is better. The bulge on the right is greatly reduced, and

overall it is a bit rounder. I think that most people won't notice

it once her hair comes in better (I hope). One interesting thing is

that Kendall's ped said that I knew more about plagio than any of

them did (including our " specialist " ) and asked me if I would provide

her with the articles/studies I've collected about it. Although she

gave me the standard " it will round out on its own " thing most people

get, I think it is great that she realizes that she doesn't know

enough about it. If nothing else, I hope that Kendall's case will

change the way she deals with it in the future. Well, that was

probably more than you really wanted to know! Can you believe the

weather today?!? It was beautiful.
