Re: Band vs. Helmet / Danmar

[Guest guest]

,

It sounds like you have found an ideal situation for treatment for

Ian. No matter what happens with the insurance, you should give an

appeal a try! As far as treatment length goes, who knows, maybe Ian

will be done before the 6 months is up and he won't have to wear his

Danmar helmet that long. I hope he has some good growth spurts

after he gets his helmet! Did you say that your casting was on

Wednesday? Good luck, and let us know when his helmet gets in!

Take care,
