Residual flatness concern...

[Guest guest]

Funny, I haven't been on this board in quite some time and the first post is

exactly my issue. is going to be one year old on Sat and has been

in his band a little over 3 months. Charlotte at CT said that this will be

the final 2 weeks. Unfortunately, I'm not jumping for joy because I really

feel that his flat area is still too flat. It definitely has come a long

way - the bottom of his skull rounding nicely but the right middle, right

behind his right ear is still flat and bothers me. Charolette does not

recommend another band and feels he has had some nice growth. I'm sure that

is the case but I'm still not thrilled. She said that we can certainly can

do another band but she wouldn't recommend it. We see are craniofacial

specialist next week so I'm curious to hear his opinion. I sure hope

has some good growth in the next 2 weeks. My other concern is that

's cowlick is right on his flat spot and I'm afraid that it will not

hide the residual flatness.

Also, would ins cover a second band?
