Re: Grace got her band on Tuesday

[Guest guest]

Hi Tara,

I'm so happy to hear that Grace is doing well! Have you had to have

any initial fit adjustments during these first few days? I hear

that it can be common. It sounds like she settled in just fine,

though! Would you refresh my memory about where Grace is going to

get her band?

I'm also glad to here that the orthotist was able to encourage you

to expect better results than just 20-50%!!

How are the neck stretches going?

I never bought the rubbing alcohol myself, but I have read in

previous messages that sometimes it is kept behind the counter, and

you just have to ask the pharmacist for it... I hope someone will

correct me if I'm wrong! I don't recall if specific drugstores were

mentioned.

Please keep us posted on how Grace's rounding and adjustments are

coming along,

Hi Tara:

Glad Grace is doing well so far in her band Pretty much all drug

stores carry the 90% alcohol, like Christie said, some do keep it

behind the counter, jsut ask the pharmacist if you cannot find any.

I just replied to your cleaning solution as well, but please, only

use alcohol for now until you can talk to your orthotist about it!

Tara,

It's great to hear that Grace is adjusting to her band so well! Check

out this web site, they sell 99% rubbing alcohol. It works even

better than the 90%. Keep us posted on Grace's progress.

Tara,

What a relief that Grace is doing so well in her band! I'm glad

they also think she'll see better correction than what your neuro

told you. I hope you can prove him wrong! She'll be rounding in no

time!
