Update on Jake-We're going for it!

[Guest guest]

Hi all-

Just wanted to give you an update on my son Jake (16.5m). We went to

Cranial Tech today and they came across as really confident that, if

we banded, we would see some sort of correction, it's just a matter

of how much. They spoke in really positive terms and were really

nice to me and Jake, so I feel really comfortable with the idea of

going with the band at this point, and going with them as the

provider.

I was especially glad to hear that she thought we could even improve

his ear assymmetry. His assymmetry measurements for both his head

and his ears were 15 mm. As most of you know, 2-4 mm is

considered " normal, " so he is definitely on the high end of

moderate. I think I would be thrilled if we could just get it to at

least 10 mm. Do you think that's a realistic/modest expectation at

his age?

In any case, he's going to be casted on Monday, so now I'm really

anxious to get the process started for sure. I'll keep you posted!

The amount of improvement will depend on your consistency, Jake's

growth, etc. I have no idea if 5mm improvement is realistic but it

is realistic that some improvement is better than none. Happy

banding.
