Band ordered today! Countdown begins!

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone-- thank you again for your support a few weeks back with my

incredible guilt about the banding.

Our daughter was taken today for measurements, and she's considered moderate,

but we got the whole 'you could wait-and-see or do a band-- your decision.'

Well, my husband and I had already decided we were pulling the trigger today

unless there was a VERY good reason that we couldn't.

So, band is ordered and the fitting is Jan 8th. I can't wait, also, to order

stickers to make it super-cute (I just got plain white).

I honestly can't tell you why, but it's as if a tremendous weight is off my

shoulders. I guess it's because there's a plan and we're getting this over with

now vs later and it would likely only be 2-3 months total.

Luckily, the plagio hasn't affected any of her facial features and her ears are

pretty much in line.

She will be in a STARband thru Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, which is a

hospital and this is in the prosthetics & orthodics dept. As we're in the

waiting room, there are two children also-- one, a yr old, waiting to be fitted

for a prosthetic foot and another, 9 yrs old, that obviously had several

physical and mental disabilities. So, my perspective really changed-- if this

is the worst thing we're dealing with, I completely consider us VERY lucky!

I feel like these holidays will be very happy now! I hope the same for everyone

else!
