Guest guest Posted May 28, 2002 Report Share Posted May 28, 2002 Traci - Don't feel that it's your fault. When you go to StraightAhead and CCF, you will probably meet other parents in the same boat. It's pretty common. Then you will get to the point where you are always on head patrol, looking at the shape of everyone's head, babies and adults! I would be happy to meet with you when you come up here. I just can't do it this weekend. My nephew is getting baptised and my Grandpa (almost 87!) is graduating from high school! Once we decided to go with the band, I showed the DOC band calendar to everyone I knew to prepare them. Hey, maybe Alec doesn't even need one, so keep your worrying until you hear from and the CCF doctor.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2002 Report Share Posted May 28, 2002 Well Ours is OFF too...the day care called saying he was just out of control and when they took the helmet off he was instantly stopped crying...so I went up there and you can see the indentions above his eyebrow and its very red as well as by his ear too...I called CT but I think they are out to lunch....I know this is the best thing to do for him it just hurts me to have to do it...It would be nice to chum up w/ya as they can be banded buddies...How old is Mackenzie?? Braeden is almost 5 mos. (1/2/02)....Thanks for the support...I need it Let me know how your adjustment goes today...Trisha Trisha Trisha, I so know where you are coming from...we picked up Mackenzie's band on Friday and all Thursday night I tossed & turned knowing that she would be getting it the next day. I also cried when they brought it in and when Margie put it on her for the first time. I did warm up to it little by little but then as we determined that Mackenzie seemed very uncomfortable and in possible pain from it...that warmth disappated. Hopefully, everything will go well with the adjustment today and we can have our happy Mackenzie back. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that you're not alone in how you feel and maybe we can lean on each other a little bit since our babies got their bands on the same day...if there is anything I can do to help you out, let me know. & Mackenzie (soon to be banded - again!) Phoenix, AZ > I'm sure I will warm up to it...I have just been so sad...and I cried when they brought it in the room....and when I was holding him I just felt so hopeless...I know I have to work through my emotions...but I will...Thanks for responding it really means alot..Trisha For more plagio info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 28, 2002 Report Share Posted May 28, 2002 Trisha: I'm so sorry to hear Braeden was so upset with his band on. I hope you were able to get a hold of CT for their advise. Let us know how the rest of the day goes.
