Re: So is this good progress?

[Guest guest]

With my son, we just look at the CV measurement. He didn't have any real facial

asymmetry or much issues, just the flat spot. His started at 15 and is now 10.

Our insurance considers anything less than 6 to be " normal " and no need for

medical intervention. So, I would say you sound pretty good in that area. If

you keep it on until she has used it up, then you will likely be below 6. If

you and your husband are happy with it, then that is all that matters!! BTW

- that is awesome progress in 2 months!

Our insurance did not cover it and we are planning to start the appealing

process. There is a SLIGHT possibility of needing a 2nd band but the way we see

it is that she's made progress enough that we are happy with the results. We

KNOW we are doing what's best for her and we are not strict to the point that it

must be PERFECT so I think we'll be ok with a bit more progress and no more

band. Since

Hi ,

That is very good progress. If you get a bit more correction great, but even the

numbers you have now are good.
