Guest guest Posted September 30, 2002 Report Share Posted September 30, 2002 Debbie - That's what said (re: being almost done). I didn't get to discuss it with her further but said Dane was done about 1 month after gave her the same comment. I, too, cannot believe that it would be so quick (he's only been in it 2 weeks) but every one kept telling me it was mild - I just didn't really believe them. We must have gotten that helmet on him just in time for a growth spurt. He has been eating constantly lately and sleeping better (he is not much of a sleeper so when he sleeps he's either sick or I need to go buy new clothes!!) Actually, now I can't wait to go to church and talk with the Dr. who wouldn't write the rx. Maybe it would have been fine without intervention, but now I KNOW its fine!!!

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2002 Report Share Posted September 30, 2002 Kristi: This is such wonderful news! I didn't want to sound at all pecimistic in my earlier reply, but just couldn't believe my eyes! I am so happy for you & ,I know you had such a hard time getting him the band to begin with, and you questioned your decision at times, but the round head is proof that you did what was right for you & your son! Now take him to church and show off that amazing head & band!!! Here's to more growth spurts!

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2002 Report Share Posted September 30, 2002 I didn't think you were being pesimistic at all - I, too, have trouble believing that after only 2 weeks he's almost done!!! I wish I could take a video camera to share the dr's facial expression with everyone!!! It sure does feel good to be right (for a change!)
