Today marks the half way point of you wearing the Doc Band. We had our fourth follow up visit this afternoon and your head is moving in the right direction, rounding out in the way the therapist is pleased with and your facial features are noticeably more symmetrical.
This has been an interesting journey and I’m grateful for how easy you’ve made it on us. Since day one it’s like you’re not even wearing it. It hasn’t seemed to bother you in the least bit, however, we do see an extra spring in your step (AKA swagger in your crawl) when it’s off and we know that it’s hot and must be uncomfortable by the end of the day.
I have been so pleasantly surprised at the encouragement from strangers and how many people have come up to us at the park, grocery store, shopping mall, airport, etc. to tell us how successful the Doc Band was for their own children, grandchildren, friend’s children, nieces and nephews. It seems as though we are a part of a special group now and when yours comes off, I’ll be sure to do the same. In fact, your grandma and I saw a little girl wearing a Doc Band while walking through La Jolla last week and I had to stop and comment on how adorable she looked it in. Her parents had painted flowers all over it, where as we have been partial to stickers.
The first 50 days went by in a flash and I know that the next 50 days will as well.
The best is yet to be.
Day 50/100

Oh, I'm so glad that Lucas is having an easy time of it. My sister's little girl is as well. It's weird…I think that all of us don't even "see" her wearing it, you know? It's just a part of her. And look at that picture! Someone's going to be walking soon, huh?!!
50 days?!!! Wow! See, that went by like a flash! I am sure the next 50 will fly by too! And when u think about it, 100 days are nothing in the grand scheme of things. Congrats on your first 50 days with the Doc Band buddy! I love u.
