Guest guest Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Hi , I'm glad you have Abigail's casting appt. Is it the crooked STARband she's still in? Does CT want her to keep wearing it? If it is, I'd just be so concerned that it could make her head worse! Hopefully you'll get your answer sooner from the ins co and maybe you can move up the casting! , mom to Hannah, DOCband #3 3/30 Cape Cod, Ma > I know it's been a little while since I posted. there wasn't really a > lot to say!

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Hello Glad you have a casting appointment scheduled. Did Abigail get casted the first time as well or scanned? If casted how did she do? My daughter Willow was easy to bribe with her paci and when it got tough we gave her the bottle. Worked wonders for us. Good luck with the insurance. By the way - we did the same thing. We went ahead with everything b/c of the time factor and would have battled after, but our ins. paid in full. I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Is Abigail in pt for the torticollis? Let us know how the casting goes.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 Hi Sandy Abby was scanned for her STARBand, so we have no idea what to expect at the casting. But we will be bringing a lollipop and a bottle of juice, for sure! We just started PT today for the tort, after a three month wait for referrals and such. She will be going once a week at least until the end of June, and then we might be able to go every other week. I'll let you know how everything goes! & Abigail > > I know it's been a little while since I posted. there wasn't > really a > > lot to say!
