Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hi everyone! I haven't been on here in a long time (probably at least a couple of months). We've been really busy lately, but wanted to let everyone know that my son, Austin graduated from the Starband last week. He started at 15mm and is down to less than 1mm. The before and after pictures look incredible. He started wearing the helmet at 7 months and finished at 12 months (he wore it for 5 months). I have to say the only problem we encountered with him wearing the helmet was a minor rash that lasted only a couple of days on his forehead and he would shrug his shoulders sometimes when wearing the helmet, but nothing really major. My husband and I are soooo completely happy that we chose to have our son wear this helmet. It really was a tough decision for us in the beginning, but the end results are so worth it. For those parents who are just beginning the helmet process, I know it might seem really hard to have your son/daughter wear this for however long, but just hang in there. It will go by so fast and the results will make it worthwhile! I can't believe how common the helmet is becoming! I see babies all the time at the grocery store or wherever, and I felt like " I'm NOT ALONE! " Just know that there are babies (and parents) going through the same thing. I know that helped me along the way! (Mom to Austin 12 months old - Starband Graduate!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hi Congratulations on Austin's graduation. It sounds like he got great results. Did you post some pics in the photos sections? I would love to see them. My dd wore her band for 5 mo too - it is a long time, but so worth it. -christine sydney 2 yrs starband grad > > Hi everyone! > > I haven't been on here in a long time (probably at least a couple of > months).

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I know some of you wanted to see Austin's before and after pictures, but I tried posting them, but unfortunately, they won't post. The pictures are on Adobe reader, and when I try to " Add it Now " it tells me " unsupported image. " So, I'm really not sure how to do it. Maybe someone can help me to upload it from Adobe???? - > > > > Hi everyone! > > > > I haven't been on here in a long time (probably at least a couple > of > > months).
