Guest guest Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Hi Robin and Steve, Thats great you guys! I'm glad you got the prescription and made your decision. You definitely won't be disappointed! We made a similar decision to go farther/pay more and I've never regretted it. The only thing I regret is not getting a portable DVD player sooner than we did! It's a livesaver. Let us know how the appt goes on the 3rd. , mom to Hannah, DOCband #3 3/30 Cape Cod, Mass > Hello everyone, i just wanted to share with you that we finally got > the prescription today for Kaitlyn my 12 month old daughter..and the > appointment we made for july 3rd at straight ahead ( cranial tech) is > inching closer and closer thank goodness.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Hey Robin. I'm soo glad your doc finally saw the big pic, and gave you the Rx afterall. Or did you have to change peds? I am glad you are going with the clinic that you feel best regardless of $ and travel. IN the end it will be soo worth it. Let us know how the evaluation goes. Will they cast right away that day?

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 Congratulations Robin! You must feel so realieved. WOW July 3rd - that is great! You did it. I really look forward to reading about your journey as it unfolds. If you don't mind me asking, how much are you paying for the DOC band and visits and everything? We are paying $2800 for a STARband, weekly visits and 2 scans (pre and post). I am in Buffalo but will travel to Rochester, NY (about 1 hr away). I think Cleveland is about 4 hrs. from us.
