Re: Starband/Helemt MI debbiejandabbyj=

[Guest guest]

-Thank you both Debbie and for the messages back.

, since you are currently going there, how often do you have to

be seen? If I am correct orthomerica told me that they have a

starscanner too so that oyu don't have to have the casting done, is

that correct?

WE would be coming from the other side of the state. All we have

found avaliable here is a passive helemt and I am concerned about the

amount of correction we will recive. I don't know how bad my son's

head really is in the scheme of things. I will try to get a good

picture and post it. My huband who says I am obsessing over the whole

thing has agreed that if an active one would work best then perhaps

we should go to G.R. Plus I know some people that live there, so we

would get to visit some people we normally don't.

Thanks for all the help Debbie and .
