Guest guest Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Im so glad you're here on CAST! The brochure that CCHMC has put out is outstanding and I often use it in my presentations. Hows lil doing now? Does she have much longer to go? She is just an angel! Thanks for doing the brochure w/ CCHMC. It is super helpful to parents going through Mehta casting with their children and I wish all ET centers of excellence would do the same..
