Re: Remaining assymetry with older plagio kids?

[Guest guest]

We were one of the very lucky last ones to get the doc band in

calgary. We are from Manitoba so we traveled to get there. We are

currently requesting that Manitoba Health pay for us to travel to

Chicago and also to pay for another doc band. I'm sure they'll tell

us to get lost but i wanted to ask any way. I am very disappointed

as a Canadian that we are being short changed in regard to our

options when it comes to banding our children. To not have the

option to go to cranial technologies is rediculous to me. I plan to

raise a little stink about this to our minister of health at some

point in the future. It is scary to think that we are having a lack

of options when it comes to treating plagio can you imagine the lack

when it comes to other conditions or diseases. I suspect this is

not the only area we are getting short changed in.
