Guest guest Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Amy, I am so happy that you are finally on the road to a rounder noggin and were able to get in for PT. Ann is great, very nice and is very caring, just like Steve and Ann. You will meet all the other staff during your visits and they are wondeful. Do you know if you will be seeing Dr. , the physiatrist that is there? He is coming back from Iraq this month and he, by far, is the best doctor Jaxson has seen ever. I would think that is the one that will monitor Jaden's progress with the tort and how therapy is going. Ugh, when I saw you in the office I should have had you check out the book of Jax's helmets - all the designs we did. I have a book that has 30 different designs in it - some didnt make it in there because they were ones that I didn't care for as much or they only stayed on a day. I got most of my stickers at s and True Colors (by Cub Foods). When does the helmet come in? Let us know - AND, if you have any questions, conerns, feel free to call me if you still have my number. We should talk more about the group if you want as well. Just let me know!! I REALLY want to get that started.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 Hi Amy-- My daughter, (also 5 months) got her band almost two weeks ago now. She's plagio/tort too. She can be a feisty gal and she's adjusted so well. It won't take long for you to see some results with Jaden--that goes for the PT as well as the band! The hardest part is definitely over-- Best to you, Barb & Maine --- In Plagiocephaly , " Ski Chick " <skisum88@h...> wrote: > Howdy everyone, > It's been a while since I last checked in, mainly because I have > been patiently waiting for today to arrive.
