Aaron is doing very well with the band. We have to go weekly for check ups to check the growth of his head and so far there is noticeable progress. They made a model of his head before the band to show up every time we take him to the appointment to compare to his head now. The office is an hour and a half from our house (without traffic) so it becomes an all day event to take him to the doctors. It's a little frustrating but knowing that his head will be perfect in the end makes it all better.
When we took him to the first check up he had a red spot in the back of his head from heat rash. It wasn't there the night before so we have to be careful with that during these HOT summer months. We had to keep that band off until the red spot went away. It went away by the end of the next day. I can tell that sometimes the band bothers him because he scratches at it. When that happens I take the helmet off, wipe his head and the helmet with a towel and rub his head for him to relieve him. He loves it. He does love his band though. When I go to put his helmet back on him, he gets very excited.
