Re: Desperate (posted pics)

Hi Leah-

I can see your concern about the ear, but I wouldn't fret too much

yet. Our therapist told me that it would take 4 months of continuous

pressure for the band to effect the shape or fold of the ear in any

way. Our son's DOCBand pressed down on his ear a little bit the

first week and then they shaved a little off and it's been fine. It

appears to be touching it, it is still so close to his hear, but it

doesn't. So I would just take Shane in for another adjustment. They

should just be able to shave a little more away so that it doesn't

touch his ear. If they say they can't for some reason, I would make

a fuss. It shouldn't sit like that the whole time he is wearing it.

I can't tell from the pictures how much it is shifting. If it's only

shifting in his sleep, I'm not sure I would worry. My son sleeps on

his tummy with his butt in the air and his face digging into the

mattress, so I'm sure his looks like it's shifting in his sleep as

well. But when he's up and about during the day, it sits fine. How

does Shane's look during the day?

Please keep us posted!

Hi again, I just rememembered that you were the one that posted

about this being Shane's second Hanger helmet. I would go in and

demand they make it fit better and if they can't, go somewhere else.

That's awful.

Good luck!

I agree that it unacceptable for them to have made you a second bad

band. In my opinion, Hangar had a chance to fix it and they didn't.

That should be their one and only chance, and if it's at all possible

for you, you should be looking for a new band provider. Please let

us know how things go.
