Guest guest Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 My son has had his Starband of for almost 13 weeks now. They are very happy with the results, but they said he needs a little fine tuning. My husband is convinced that it has been on incorretly the entire time. It covers one ear and they told us the ear would move backwards in the whole where the ear goes. Well...that hasn't happened and we actually notice that that ear does not stick out as far now! We also noticed that one side of the helmet squishes his cheek in more and his eye looks squished. They told us that his face isn't growing now and it should be fine. Well we also noticed that that side of his face isn't as full as the other one! We are scheduled to get the helmet off on Monday possibly, but my husband made me call to get an appointment on Thursday to get it off. He's over it and thinks it isn't good for our son. I have always heard good things about Star Cranial in Columbia MD and have trusted the Orthotist there. Does this sound like something that is normal? I was also told by the nurse at our doctor that his face will fill out on that side so not to worry. They also want to take it off before he's perfectly symetrical on the flat side and said it would " fill out " . Is this also true? He was at 92% last time we went which was almost 2 weeks ago. I'm so confused and don't know what the right thing to do is. Sebastian- 7 months old, in Starband 12 weeks 3 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
