DOC Band update

Yesterday we went to Cranial Technologies for an adjustment to the band. This photo was taken in Hudson's favorite waiting room. He likes it because it has the bouncy horse...Hudson had some photos taken to compare the difference between his head pre-band and his head now, and WOW! -huge improvements!! Honestly, you just would not believe the difference and at this point we are so glad Hudson had the DOC band. We're really happy with the progress he's made. BUT....now we're facing a decision as to whether or not we want to do a second band. Yes, you read that right, a second band. UGH.

The people at Cranial Technologies who make the band are recommending another one, for another 2-3 months (of course they are!). Hudson is outgrowing his current band and can not continue to wear it. Since they think he still needs to be in the band, Hudson will have to be fitted for a new one. They believe we'll continue to see improvements, but have given us the disclaimer that his head will never be "perfectly round". I say, "so what, no one's head is perfectly round!". I'm okay with that. If, however, he needs the band then we'll do it. Since Scott and I don't feel comfortable making this decision ourselves, we're going to rely on the expertise of our pediatrician who we see next week for Hudson's 9 month visit. Then we'll make our decision. We'll keep you all posted once we know.

You might be wondering why you don't see much of the band on the blog....mostly it's because I take it off for pictures. I also take it off when we're outside because Hudson gets really hot in the band even indoors, so if we're outside for any period of time in 105 degree weather, I give him a break from the band. Other than that he's sporting his band 23 hours a day, 7 days a week....again...UGH.
