Randa Re: Encouraging story for older banders

March 2, 2006

Thanks for sharing your good news. My daughter's progress has been

slow. She's been wearing a doc-band for over 3 months and I never

expected to have her still in the band. She's wearing a second band

right now. She's now 14 1/2 months old and I'm praying for a good

growth spurt soon.

Congrats on your son's fast improvment.
