Hi -

Glad to hear the transition is going smoothly. When my son first got

his DOCBand he had a small red spot on his forehead bulge and the

therapist at CT told me that as long as it did fade somewhat within

the hour and didn't get any worse at the next skin check, to leave

it on him. It was over a weekend and each time I checked it, it was

less red and a little smaller and by our one-week check on Monday,

it was almost gone. So if it's more pink than red and does almost

fade completely within the hour off, I would go ahead and put it on

him for one more check and see what happens. Assuming he's sleeping

in it tonight and progresses to 23 hours, you should get a better

feel for the extent of the red spot.

Good luck!
