Guest guest Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 I am really torn about what to do and I am looking forward to hearing the thoughts and opinions of other parents who are on or have been through this. Based on the following information, would you get a 2nd DOC Band? My son was diagnosed with severe left plagiocephaly (caused in-utero and worsened by torticollis which is now resolved) and began his DOC Band treatment at 4 months 3 weeks. He has been in it for 8 weeks and has one more week before he outgrows his current Band. They are recommending a 2nd band but I am not sure what to do. His initial numbers and the numbers from his 6 weeks re-evaulation are; Initial 6 weeks Cephalic Index 94.6 88.5 Standard Dev +4.1 +1.6 Cranial Vault Asym 20 10 Mid-Face Asymmetry 2 0 Skull-Base Asym 3 5 He has improved so much and I am not sure how much more improvement we can expect. I am really curious what his numbers will be next week after 9 weeks in the band. His ears are still really off, any insight on why the skull-base asymmetry got worse? I will try to post his pics under Mark plagio before after. If we didn't get a 2nd band I would hope that he would continue to improve on his own but it seems like most kids don't. What would you do, get a 2nd band or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
