Re: Getting nervous about trip to CT.

[Guest guest]

Lori,

Cranial Tech will only band her IF she'd benefit from a band. A

baby's head has to have holding points in order for it to work. If

your daughter is too mild a band won't help her. I'm sure if you

think it's bad enough and your doc and PT think so too, CT will agree.

Don't worry you'll be in the best hands possible. Please let us know

how you make out.

Hello Lori

Good luck on the 27th. I totally agree with what has told

you. CT will not band unless it is beneficial to your daughter.

Let us know how it went. CT has a great insurance/appeal package

btw. Maybe you can ask them for it so you are prepared for anything

the insurance might come up with.
