Sandy,

Is your two year old grandson have the surgery done? Was is a cranial vault?

Contemplating 2nd band

my son graduated from his first DOC band 2 weeks ago. we left CT and were not 100% convinced that he was 'done'. we went back for a consult today and were told that we'd moved him from 'severe plagio' to 'mild plagio' wheras the first consult said we were done. i asked whether if he was a new patient, would they suggest treatment. they said it would be our choice but improvements could still be made. btw he went from 22mm assymetry (so very severe) to 8mm now. we are contemplating 2nd band as he outgrew the first so fast, and i don't want to regret my decision in years to come. any advice or words of wisdom from other worried parents?
