Re: is getting midpoint pics done today

[Guest guest]

Oh Deb, I feel for you! On Hannah's last picture/casting day the

pictures were way worse than the cast! She was just so

uncooperative, lol. If you did want to do a second band, couldn't

they just cast him for it early? We were told w/Hannah's second

band that it was a good idea to cast her early to get fresh new

pressure points rather than waiting it out until she grew out of it,

which made sense to me since you seem to always get that surge of

quick correction that first month in a band. Let us know how it

goes!

If you need to go to a 2nd and 3rd band, do they charge you another

3000 bucks?

Deb,

This is a great idea to see where stands with his correction,

and how you feel about it. Wehn will you get the progress pics

taken? Please share them with us when you get a chance, and let us

know what you think. I know we have lots of other members with

older babies in bands who would be very interested in how is

coming along with treatment.

Hopefully the process won't take too long, and will forget

about it quickly!

Keep us posted, and take care,

Problem with that is that so far we're paying this all out of

pocket. I don't know yet if insurance is going to pay for it. And

we can't afford another $3000. We can barely afford this helmet.

He was so upset with the pics. We had to move so quickly. But it's

done. Hope to get copies soon.
