Grant's 2nd adjustment - saw headsicle

[Guest guest]

,

That is fantastic news that you've already seen improvement in only the

second fitting! More to come! Those headsicles really do show proof

positive all those areas that our eyes have been playing tricks on us- one

day you think it looks bad, the next it doesn't- so it really does help give

us a better perspective. I KIND OF regret not getting the exit cast done,

but the results were so obvious that we didn't want to put him through it a

3rd time- but some days I wish we did have it so that I could just compare

the two. Wishing Grant continued growth spurts and keep us all posted on his

progress!

Well, I took Grant in for his 2nd adjustment and we saw the headsicle for the first time. Wow, was I shocked. His head really does have that trapezoid shape. Yikes! He has a lot of fuzzy blonde hair...and that plus my mommy's loving point of view really skewed it. It really looks bad on the headsicle! The GREAT news is there has been a lot of improvement in the forehead bulging and the back is starting to fill out a bit. Hopefully, the back will fill out a lot over time and start to let the side behind his ear pop out, too. One can hope! After seeing that headsicle, as awful as the first casting was...I am convinced it is a good idea to do an exit casting as well. Especially, if there is any question as to whether or not he'll need a second band when we get to that point (right now they don't think he'll need a second band). They let me take home the headsicle until our next appt. in 2 weeks. Grant's 9 mos. well visit is next week and I CAN'T WAIT to bring it to our ped who blew this off for so long and wrote the prescription primarily to appease a nagging mom. , Mom to Grant (born 9/26/01) ...in DOCband since 6/14/02

Great news that you have seen some good improvement! I hope you will tell us

what reaction you get from Grant's ped - I would love to be a fly on the wall

when you walk in toting Grant and his headsicle!!! LOL!
