Re: Angelina got covered in plaster today!!

[Guest guest]

Hi

It is great that everything just lined up. I do think you have made

the right decision. Angelina will be very thankful one of these

days. )

When you go for the fitting please hang around there for awhile. It

is a tad bit on the long side between casting and fitting. Just

make sure they get a good fit. )

Glad the flight and the casting went well for you! I'm sure it

reaffirmed your decision when she measured in the moderate range.

Can't wait to see the pics and good luck with the fitting.

Yikes, look at that little plane! You guys are brave! I'm so happy

that you are happy with your decision and that Angelflight was able

to help you. How nice when everything falls into place! Let us

know how her fitting goes on the 13th.

Howdy ,

I am glad to see the casting went well! I checked out the pics in

Angelina's file, how cool what that plane ride???? So yey for you

guys, I am glad she got casted and as everyone I'm sure has said,

the hard part is now over with. Now when she starts wearing it,

you'll be waiting for the day for it to come off, lol!

Can I ask you how you arranged the Angelflight? How did they

determine if you qualified? And does Angelina still use her TOT

collar? I am very interested to know more, so please post back when

you get a chance. Again, congrats to you all!
