Grant's Casting

[Guest guest]

Well, it's over! Grant did as well as can be expected. I have to be honest...I've never heard him cry that hard, but it was quick and Bob and Jan at RDA did everything so quick and were very efficient and gentle. I have a lot of confidence that we are doing the right thing by having Grant treated with the DOCband, and especially by this clinic.

With all the stress (mine!) I forgot to ask if we could play Grant's lullaby CD, but I'm not sure he would have heard it over his cries **sniff** **sniff**

So, we should have Grant's band in a couple of weeks and then let the rounding begin . We are interested to see also how the PT appt. goes on Thursday. I go back and forth on whether he needs it, but I definitely want his ROM assessed.

Thanks to all of you for your support. Wendi, thanks for your recommendations of the RDA office here in KC. Bob really seems to know what he's doing and both him and Jan were so gentle with my baby today .

It sounds like things went as well as can be expected. I'm glad it's over for

you and Grant! Now on to the band and a rounder head - hooray!!

Sounds like Grant had the typical casting, but was ok after- so its quick and

done with- now let the rounding take shape! So glad to hear that you are on

your way now to getting things to happen, and I think that the pt assessment

is always a great idea if there is even a slight concern. Even if Grant does

not need them, exercises that help rotate the head both ways and stretch the

muscle will not hurt him so there's really nothing to lose. Keep us posted!
