Re: Mya's new DOC band! (long story and pics)

[Guest guest]

Oh my goodness Christi, you must have some serious muscles there!! I

know I would have just about passed out on the steps!! I'm sorry to

hear that your night didn't go too well and that the crab cakes

didn't agree with you too well....yikes!

How is Mya doing in her band now? Did the last adjustment do the

trick? Thank goodness you stayed overnight so that you could have

the red spot addressed. Mya really is a beautiful little girl!

Thanks for sharing her pics with us!

I hope your future commutes go much smoother....and stay away from

crab cakes!!

Christi,

You could have your own " Christi's adventures " tv show!! What an ordeal! At

least you have the piece of mind that Mya is doing great with her DOC band!

Good luck and I hope your next travels are not so horrible!

Christi:

Well, if you were 105 lbs going into yesterday, then I'd say you're

probably all of 95 lbs after that horrible day - with climbing all

those stairs, carrying all the stuff & kids, and the crab vomit to

top it all off! Ugggg! What a bad experience. BUT, the good news

is, Mya is doing so well with her new band! That's terrific :-).

Noone beleives their baby will adjust w/o problem until they go thru

it! It's a good thing you stayed in town with that red spot, I'm

sure Cranial Tech has the problem solved. So now Mya's head is

rounding as we " speak " ! She's a beautiful petite little girl, I see

you were prepared & decorated it with stickers right away. Very

cute!

One day you'll look back at your day & laugh & laugh & laugh! Keep

us posted on Mya's progress, you'll see improvement soon!

well Mya slept just fine last night. She slept her normal 12 hours.

What a relief. I took it off this morning to check to for red spots

and none! Yeahh! Im so glad. Now I need to find out what the

differece is between ethyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol and which

one am I supposed to be using to clean the band? I bought both of

them cause I had no idea. I didnt even know there was more then one.

I also stopped at s today thinking I could find some cool rub

on transfers and there selection really stunk! Walmarts selection

was better. I wanted to find some really cute letters but no luck.

Guess I will keep searching. Im just so glad Mya is doing so well in

her band.

Christi:

Sorry about that!

I'm not really sure, but I knew it was isopropyl, and wasn't sure if the ethyl could possibly do harm. Better safe than sorry! ;o)
