Re: Re: Day 2 in band

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

The areas that chipped are on the front above the brow and on the sides above the ears. I think this is because he sleeps face down with his head in the corner of the crib. I did some touch-up work on it and added more mod podge today. I hope to get two weeks out of it, with little touch ups here and there.

Thanks for the tips!

Re: Day 2 in band

Hi -Glad to hear he's adjusting pretty well. I'm sure teething isn't helping, but it seems he's doing well overall. I know what you mean about it looking low on his brow. Our therapist at CT said to resist the urge to adjust it, it would be fine. And you're right, it's going to bother him more when you play with it and at this point, it's probably just better to let him get used to wearing it. As long as it's not bothering him (he's not playing and fussing with it), it should be fine. That might just be an area that will need a minor trim/adjustment when you go back for your one-week check.Is the paint chipping from the main parts of the band or just around the edges? My son's band always seems to chip around the edges of the rounded caps within the first day I paint it, which really drives me crazy. But I touch it up with more paint and more mod podge and it usually stays nice for at

least a week before it's chipped again. By the end of 3 weeks, I'm ready to change it up. The other area that sometimes peels is his sideburn opposite the velcro. For some reason, I think the way he sleeps, the edges of paint will get stuck to his sheet or something and end up getting pushed/scrunched up. It doesn't peel off, it just folds over on top of itself to reveal the white underneath. I touch these areas up the same way, and it holds pretty well. Good luck!Jake-19m (tort resolved/rt plagio/DOCBand 10 weeks)Jordan-4>> Hi everyone,> My son Ray received his band yesterday. He laughed when they put it on him. He thought it was a game. He

seemed to do ok yesterday, but has been fussy today. It may be due to the two teeth that are pushing through on top. Anyway, he has only had a few pink/red spots, which fade away within about 20 mins. The one thing I did notice is that it slides down on his forehead fairly low. I can't get it to stay up at the brow level where the tech had originally placed it. I have the velcro just where she had it. I keep adjusting the band, which is making him more aware of it, so maybe I should just leave it alone? I will call CT on Monday, but was just wondering if anyone else has run into this. Also, I followed the decorating tips, but it is already chipping. He is crawling and bumping into things, so it may be unavoidable. I used 3 coats of acrylic paint, stickers and 3 coats of mod podge. I plan to put another coat of mod podge on it tonight, but just> curious if

there are any other tips out there. > Thanks> > - Ray, 10 months, in DOC band 2 days. > > > ____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _________ _____________ ___> Be a better friend, newshound, and > know-it-all with Mobile.
