Hi Jen!

We will be banding her on the 25th of January. She's getting the
Bivalve Starband due to some asymmetry on her forehead. She also has
left tort and right plagio like your little Luli. That said, we are
also in PT. The Dr doesn't feel comfortable telling me when she will
be done with the band quite yet, so I'm crossing my fingers for lotsa
growth.

Thank you!
Sam and Nikki 6.5 months.
