[Guest guest]

Sue and Colin,

I wanted to tell you that I was wrong the DOCband is 2900.00 at

cranial tech in Cleveland..I just spoke with karen today and had that

verified. Sorry about that.

And thank you teresa for the info.... also verified that

for me about no copays and such whata relief there also. Goodluck

with your visit tomorrow ( even though Im sure your on the road or

already there in Cleveland. Oh and also said they are gonna fit

us in that same day as the evaluation and do the casting that day

also due to the holidays they don't want to put it off. So we got

lucky there also.

Well, I will check back in later, I would like to here how

everything goes.

cleveland was simply that I don't believe Hanger here Cincinnati has

the experience. I have never ever seen another baby banded here nor

had any of his dr.'s recommended treatment. Jake at at the time was

16 mos 14.5 adjusted when I searched out treatment and we didn't

have the time to mess around with a bad fit! Also, Star bands go to

18 mos Jake is there now.
