Banding in Florida ... looking for support

[Guest guest]

Hi all, my name is and I live in the Tampa " area " of Florida and I'm

posting with the hopes of finding someone that I can be like e-mail pals with,

maybe someone that lives in the same general area, as I'm dealing with banding

my 5.5 month old son. He has plagio and tort. He's in PT for the tort, but my

husband and I decided to pursue getting his head measured since he was already 5

months and we hadn't seen enough of an improvement with the repositioning in the

past 4 weeks (although we have been repositioning since 7 weeks, but without the

PT until a month ago). My son has 15.4mm asymmetry (per our scan from west coast

in Tampa) and we met with the craniofacial team and made the decision to get the

band. He will get his band on the 16th of this month and I'm just feeling bad,

like I should have done more sooner. So, my goal is to hopefully be " pen pals "

with someone who has gone through or is going through this also, just to have

some extra support -- someone who knows what I'm going through. Thanks in

advance
