Diane,

Welcome. Are you going for the evaluation tomorrow or to actually get

fitted with a band? If this is the first visit to see if one is needed

then ask the usual things. What experience and training have you had?

How many babies have you treated? Have you had specific training in the

use of the Starband? Do you have parent references I can talk with?

That sort of thing. Hope that helps.

We're going for the evaluation tomorrow, I guess. We have a

prescription for a STARband from a doctor at Children's Hospital in

Birminham, AL.

Diane,

This is the time to ask all your questions and if you are not happy

with the answers or are not comfortable then tell them you want to

think about it and will call for an appointment to be scanned should

you choose to go ahead. If you are comfortable and want to go ahead

they may be able to do the scan the same day. The scan does not hurt

them and is not bad at all. It then takes two weeks to get the band

and it should not be longer than two weeks between the scan and the

day they get the band. Does that help you out?
