I'm so glad that you are pleased with your treatment so far. You

are a great mom to travel so far for Kennedy. She is such a cutie!

Hope much more rounding continues.

I'm so happy to hear it is going well. At this age, the results are

so fast and amazing. It is so nice to have such a good result.

We make our LAST (for real this time) trip down on Monday-- I am

running off my Priceline receipts for taxes right now. Looks like we

started 7/19 and have made 19 trips! I also tried to do the trip in

one day, only once, and swore we would never do it again. That is a

LONG time in the car for (and WITH!) a baby. Plus, I think I-75 is so

rough that it makes the helmet rub in a bad way. The time I tried to

do it happened to be for an appointment with Dr Hobar and Leeza told

me to leave the helmet off for the drive home because it seemed to be

too much for Blythe.

I met someone who knew you yesterday at Utica Square and who knew

about Blythe's helmet b/c of Kennedy... funny, small world.

Take care and I really hope things continue to go so smoothly!
