Mare,
I had the pillow sling or splint. Is it the one where you have to keep adding foam to it to keep it elevated? I'm glad that I had that one rather than the statue of liberty being an adult. It was a pain in the rear but the results turned out very well for me. I hope all works for you too.

All I can say is I Hate Velco this thing never goes on the same way twice and its always sliping around and they haven't even begun to add to it. But we have made it to 1 week as of tomorrow it will be on for 2 more weeks 24/7 then 3 months sleeping with it as it grows. Did you have PT the first 3 weeks frankie says it hurt to move it up any because of the stiches I kinda want to leave him alone till they desolve but don't know if I should in the mean time I'm trying to find a Good OT/Pt

Mare,
...About the slipping Velcro..I have learned that it needs to be cleaned of lint & dirt with a wire brush or grooming comb for Pets then it sticks good again. Dirt & lint have a way of mucking it up so I clean my Velcro shoes & clothing when slipping happens.(Just another tip from an 'ole timer Velcro user..lol)
HUGS all around,
