Re: measurements - thanks

[Guest guest]

Thank you for your replies.

, The technicians at the DOC center did take numberous

pictures on the day he was casted for his helmet. I'm not sure if

they take more as we go along. However, I am going to take my own

pictures like you suggested. I know that they also do an " exit "

casting which is voluntary after treatment is finished. Thanks for

the idea. I looked at your daughter's pictures. Her head looks

great and she's so cute!!!
