Almost done with DOC band - Great results and question..

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone!

My son started his treatment for severe plagiocephaly (24mm asym.) and

after almost 3 months his asym. has gone down to 9mm.. He still has 4 more weeks

to go and my question is if it is reasonable to expect more correction in those

4 weeks to avoid a 2nd band? (At the beginning CT told us he would need 2

bands, now they are saying that he looks good and there is no need for a 2nd

band).

So I am very happy with the results so far... just hoping that his asym. goes

down to the " normal " (2-3mm) is that too much to expect for only 4 more weeks in

the band?

Thank you so much for your help!!!

That is GREAT improvement. Congrats! How old is he? Another big growth spurt

could get you to where you want to be. Four weeks is a good amount of time, I

think I would remain optomistic, but would not get your hopes up TOO high, just

in case. Even if he got down to say 6mm, I really don't think it would be worth

a second band at that point. My son finished around 5mm (at 2 years old), he's

2.5 years old now and you can't notice that little bit of asym unless I'm

looking for it, and even then, only in the tub when his hair's wet and slicked

down. With dry hair though, it's completely unnoticeable.

Here's hoping he keeps growing these next 4 weeks!

> Hi Leyla,

Thank you for the congratulations, I am really happy with the results so far

My son is 8 months 3 weeks, so he should be graduating at almost 10 months. I

think they told me he grew 18mm in the last 3 months, so I guess there is a

chance of another growth spurt in the next month?

Hi ,

A big growth spurt is what I am hoping for, is 8 months 3 weeks now, so I

guess my next question would be.. (is 9 -10 months a good time for a growth

spurt? ) I know what you are saying about not banding him for a 2nd time, the

Doc at CT tells me that he does not like to go by measurements because they

don't really tell you how the head looks, he thinks does not need a 2nd

band because he looks good. (or at least that the minimum correction that he

will get with a 2nd band is not worth it).

I think 5mm asym. is wonderful, but you know how it goes, the more we got the

greedier we get..
