Great news, ! Would you mind posting that info in our

insurance database so if others have Cigna they can see which states

it approves in?

Thanks,

I will absolutely post that information.

We have a bunch of photos of her but we're having trouble uploading

them to my computer from our camera for some reason. My husband has

promised to try to fix the problem this weekend, and then I can post

her CT photos as well as pics of her in her band. We just redecorated

it, post July 4th, so I need to take some new ones.
