do you know who the members are. I'm confused on the paper work

involved. They want it from the Dr. but I have to go to the orthotist

place not the Dr.'s every week. I sure could use the help.

Hi Kristy,

I emailed our one member who I know for a fact used Angel Flights. I

can't think of who else used them, we've had a few members use them.

I asked Annie to pop on to the board and help you out.

In the meantime, call the Cranial Tech office you're going to use and

ask them what you should do. I'm sure they'll know. Please let us

know how you make out.

Hi Kristy

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will work out. Please update

us on your experience with them.

Thanks you

Hi Kristy,

I used it a number of times with my daughter. Angelina has just graduated from her local helmet on Dec 02nd at 14 mos but we had to travel to another city for treatment. We have to either take a ferry or fly as we live on Vancouver Island in B.C. Canada. I had nothing but great experiences with them and they are a very dedicated bunch of professionals - all volunteers as well. Our flight was about 25 minutes long each way. I could even hold Angelina if I preferred (which I did sometimes as she was a very fussy baby and cried easily). We didn't use it all the time and made the 10 hr ferry including driving every three weeks because it does not include ground transportation, that is for cancer patients only. If you have someone on the other side to chauffer you, great.

If you go to their website, it will give you a contact number in your area. At that point, someone can email you the travel permission form which you must take to your doctor to clear you and the baby for flying. I did not have to do this each time as they got to know me and it was fairly frequent at times.

Anyways, hope this helps, if you want anymore info, just email me again!

Thanks to all that responded to my questions about Angel Flight. I

sent all the paperwork to them on Monday and by Tuesday afternoon we

already had a volunteer pilot. We travel next Wed. Ross got his

helmet on Monday and is doing wonderful. He doesn't even know its on

him.
