We're hoping to cast! What do I bring?

[Guest guest]

Well, we're going to Chicago for a casting consult. I pray this is an

option for . If he can be casted, they'll do it while we're

there.

What do I need to bring?

We had a repeat spinal x-ray done yesterday because his back looked

WAY worse to me and I was feeling the ends of his ribs We still

haven't heard back from them regarding what his curve measured, but I

did pick up copies of those and the original x-rays, as well as his

MRI films.

Should I have anything else with me when we go up there?

Are there any other assistance programs I should know about? We're

staying at hotel, out of pocket, and they are giving us the " college

rate " since they don't have a hospital rate, but it's still expensive.

We're travelling with our other children and a caregiver for them.

So, aside from the obvious things (toiletries, clothing, etc.) what do

we need to bring? I bought an expanding file for all of his stuff.

Photos of his back? Any other medical records?

What kind of clothing will he need?

Anything else I need to know?

Thanks

Sandi ( & Jack)
