Guest guest Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 Jill, You have found a WONDERFUL support group in the parents on this site. I don't know what we would have done without them - my daughter would probably still have a flat head! Anyway, I just wanted to welcome you and to let you know that we are also located in Dallas and used the CT office here. They are absolutely fantastic. I can't say enough positive things about the Dallas CT staff. I'm sure you will have a great experience with them. Please let me know if you have any questions at all about them. & Jordyn (DOCband Grad 12/03) Dallas > Hi there! I joined this group a little over a week ago.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Hi Jill-- This site has been an amazing source of information and support for my family as well. My daughter is the same age as your son and she was banded at CT in Connecticut about two weeks ago. It sounds like we went through similar experiences with the repo, etc. If you end up banding him I can tell you that we have not regretted our decision for a second. CT has been just absolutely fabulous and has been doing extremely well in her band. So glad that you feel you have the information that you need--that's a great feeling during an otherwise overwhelming experience! Best to you, Barb & (5 1/2 months, plagio/tort, DOC banded 3/30/04) Maine > Hi there! I joined this group a little over a week ago.
