update 24 mos old starband

[Guest guest]

So turned 2 on Jan 5. He started wearing a Starband full time on July 14

09 for mild plagio. On jan 6 10 the scan showed the total growth in 6 mos had

been 6.9mm. Most of it went on the back at level 3, a little bit on the

forehead, where needed, nothing at level 5. The ortho that day was exceptionally

available to explain again, whereas the previous few times had seemed quite done

with us probably just tired and in need of a vacation, I guess.

That day encouraged by the ortho I was glad I could have him wear the helmet a

little longer considering his adjusted age (21 mos) and the fact that we are all

so used to it we have no problem about it, hoping for improvement at level 5. If

I had any doubt about that it disappeared when last week the helmet saved him

once again:we were shopping, he was sitting in the cart and my 4 yrold balancing

along the side edge of the cart made the whole thing fall to the ground.

hit his banded head but no harm only a big scare.

Lastly a few days ago I gave him a dreaded haircut. I thought he would look

worse but to my surprise he looks awesome. So maybe there's been some more tiny

improvement, higher than level 3 in the last 2-3 wks because now I can look at

him from the top and not see the triangle I used to obsess over. I still can't

believe it. I keep thinking it must be me imagining, wishful thinking and such.

But it's been days now and he still looks very good to me.

To conclude I'm really happy I decided to band even so late. It did make a

difference. Thank you .
