Re: Update and Question... Long...

[Guest guest]

She said if it was the only way to get it adjusted since our local

dr saying it would put our son's health at risk to travel, that we

would have to fed ex it. This is his second helmet with them, and

she has been the only person adjusting it for the majority of the

appointments so she is going to judge it by what I've told her on

the phone and all her previous experiences with his adjustments.

So, that's how she's doing it this time, but she did stress that she

hopes he's better and able to make it to his next appointment

because she doesn't like doing it by mail. In a pinch though, this

should work as a one time deal. I will have to relay to her how it

fits when its returned to us. I just pray they diagnose Caleb by

our next flight, and that we will get the thumbs up to continue our

appointments in Ohio...!!!
