Hi Debbie,

Novali is doing fine in her band, she's adjusted very well. It's

been a month now and I really haven't seen any improvement yet. I

wonder how long it will take before we see any changes, given her

age. I worry that the STARBand won't work and we won't realize it,

thinking that she just isn't growing very much right now. In 2 weeks

we will see her Cranio Facial Specialist, we'll see what happens.

Thanks for asking by the way, I don't post often but I'm always

here! It's helped me so much to read all of the other posts, being a

young, new mom, I am learning a lot and I'm very grateful! How is

Abby, how old is she now?

Tamara:

I'm happy to hear Novali has adjusted well in her band. I can't wait

to see her pics in the band, she really is adorable & I bet is even

cuter in the band!

How old is Novali again? Do you think she's grown in the month she's

been in her band? Has she outgrown any clothes?

I suggest taking weekly or bi weekly pictures of the top and several

angles of her head out of her band, this will give you something to

compare progress to. It's so hard knowing what the head looks like

each week after obsessing over it so much.

Thanks for asking about Abby, she's almost 2.5 yrs old already! In

fact, she just handed me more water balloons, that's her latest!

Loves throwing water balloons at the poor dog outside - LOL. So I've

gotta run outside wtih her now to abuse the poor dog yet again -

hehe, the dog loves it though.

Hang in there, I hope you'll see some improvmenet soon!
