[Guest guest]

Sounds like a good appt then Kim! That is great news. Keep

repositioning him & hopefully he'll round out that little bit more he

Keep us posted.

Kim,

It sounds like you had a good eval! Are you going to continue to repo

him? I think that would be a really good idea. Please keep us posted.

aggressive repoing h won't need a band! What a relief for you,

huh? Let us know how it is going with him!
