it yourselves or did you go and get it painted somewhere??

Hi ,

I LOVE Hallie's band. It came out great!!! It's good to hear how well

she's adjusting. I moved her adorable pics into the H folder. Keep us

posted on her progress.

Thank you !! We took it to a local artist whose son also had a

DOC band. She paints them for a lot of people so I knew she would do

a good job and do enough coats to make it last. I figured as much as

we paid to get the DOC band, we could spend a little more to have it

painted pretty rather than me taking the chance on messing it up!

I'm so pleased with how it came out!

Best of luck with Isabelle's band!!

Take care,

Thanks !! We are so pleased with how well it's all working out!

I'm curious...are you a parent of a child with a band or are you a

PT? I was just wondering how this board got started and how you are

involved. It's a great board and I'm glad I found it. I just wish I

had found it weeks before Hallie got her band so I could have been

more prepared for the casting process. It was very scary for us. One

mom at Cranial Tech told me that before her daughter's casting, she

prepared her by playing PeekABoo with a pair of pantyhose going over

her head and that when they went for the casting, her daughter

didn't even cry! I think that's a great idea, but unfortunately I

didn't hear about it until after Hallie's casting. Maybe you could

add that idea to one of the postings on tips for bands for parents

who are trying to prepare for getting a band.

Thanks for your compliments and thanks for managing this board! It's

a great resource!

I am so glad to hear your daughter is doing great with her band.

What a great theme for Spring.
