Guest guest Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 That's really good improvement through repositioning. Good job! 7 mm would be considered mild. What it really comes down to is how you feel about the shape of his head. Ask yourself, " If his head doesn't get any better than it is right now, am I OK with that? " If your answer is " yes " then you can probably skip the band. If it's " no " or " I'm not sure " you might want to consider a band. I've seen people that have banded at 7 mm, but I have also seen (and even known personally) people who have graduated at 7 mm.

We took him yesterday to get is follow-up scan at the StarScanner place and he is now down to 7MM. We've been repositioning, keeping him off his head as much as possible and using the SleepCurve mattress. We have another appointment in 1 month. I'm hoping his head gets even better. Do you ladies think he will be fine and it will get better and not require a helmet? As of now it's looking good.. Thanks ------------------------------------ For more plagio info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 , This is really great news. Whatever you've been trying is working for you and I hope that he'll be within normal at his next scan. Great job!
