Adjustment after treatment's over?

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the group. Our daughter was diagnosed with positional

plagio last Tuesday and we decided to go ahead with treatment. Her doc band

will be in in a couple of weeks.

I've read a lot about what to expect as she tries to adjust to having the band

on, but can anyone tell me what to expect once treatment is over and the band is

taken off? I imagine there will be another adjustment period - I'm just

wondering what your experiences have been.

For the most part, I'd say the adjustment at the end is more about the parent

adjusting to seeing their child WITHOUT a helmet 23 hours a day. My son looked

so different to me! And, what's funny, is that he immediately looked taller and

thinner (he had just turned 2 when he graduated), and so grown-up. Everybody

couldn't get over the " transformation. " And I kept thinking I was forgetting

something by not putting his band on, or having to clean it, etc. But other than

that, it was easy for him.

It took my son a couple of days to adjust to not having the band. He

actually ended up sleeping in it for a couple of extra nights because he

couldn't get to sleep without it! Kids that learn to crawl or walk while

wearing the band also have to get use to the fact that bumping their heads

on hard objects hurts now when the band is off.
