My daughter is now band-free!

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

Wow, what a journey!!! After 15 1/2 weeks in her DOC Band, my

daughter, Amelia is finished with her treatment. I took her in to CT

on Tuesday to get checked out since we hadn't been in to have her

measured in 3 weeks. The last time we were there she had absolutely

NO growth, and made an appointment anyway. When we were supposed to

go back, the band still had tons of room, so we pushed her

appointment back another week. I thought she STILL hadn't grown any,

but imagine my surprise when she grew 4 mm!! Wow! Our therapist

said that she was done, that after 16 weeks in the band, the holding

points are exhausted and the band really becomes a plastic

headwarmer. So we walked out of the office with her headsicle and

band in a bag with my daughter's naked head exposed for the whole

world to see!!! What a weird feeling to look back and see her in the

carseat with nothing on her head. It seems so weird, she looks so

tiny! We are going back next week for her exit photos and casting,

so I am looking forward to having the begininning and ending

headsicles together to see how much she has grown. This group has

been such a blessing to me and my family. Everything I ever wanted

to know about plagio I found here. Everyone is so eager and willing

to help out, it's incredible! I also am now armed with the experience

and knowledge to help others out if they want it. I know one lady

with twins has concerns about her childrens' heads, and it's nice to

know that I can at least direct her the same way so that if they need

treatment it can be started sooner rather than later.

Well, I am sorry that this is soo long!! I have to say to anyone who

is doubting or wondering if they should go through with it...go for

it!! It is totally worth it! Thank you for all of your help and

support!!!

Jen - I see that Luli is a Hanger Grad. My son is going to get sized for his helmet on February 29th. By Hanger Grad do you mean Hanger Orthotics and Prostetics? Luli is beautiful! I was very apprehensive, but I am anxious to get his treatment on it's way. Thanks, KristiCandace Campos <cvcamposmd@...> wrote: Congratulations! We would love to see photos!
