Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 , Good luck! I am glad you got ref to Children's. Dr. W is not much fun to deal with! Let us know how it goes...I think they also use a cap similar to CranioCap, but not too sure. Too bad they only meet once a month, but team approach will be great! Good luck!
