Guest guest Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Hi Kristy- Congratulations! I know it's been a long road for you. As you know, Jake graduated at 24 months from his 2nd DOCBand and still had a slight flat spot (smaller than when we started, but still there), and his right lamboid suture was fusing so there was actually kind of a dent across the right side of the flat spot from the suture (which made the flat spot appear worse than it was). Well, I just noticed last week, that the dent doesn't seem quite as pronounced, sort of like it's popping out or whatever the case may be. I'm thinking (but not getting my hopes up too high at this point), that maybe it is improving somewhat as he continues to grow. He's almost 2.5 now, so we definitely have a lot of growing to do, but at this point, I'm hopeful that at least if that suture line pops out some it will at least even out his flat spot, even if it never goes away completely. Anyway, that's just what I've seen recently. Who knows what will happen from here. Hope you post pictures! Take care!

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Thanks , We are so happy to be done. It was a long road- but so worth it. I am very pleased with the results That is great to hear about Jake's little head too. I hope the same for Zach- but I do think that I see it more because I know what I am looking for. I do not think anyone else would notice the " plagio " shape from the top of his head either. God Bless!
