Re: UGH! Top Specialist says no band needed but I STILL think-PICS R UP

[Guest guest]

Alrighty - we have an appointment tomorrow morning at CT!

I'll get that done and then chat with our Ped about her writing a

script for it.

I'm also interested to see the difference in the measurements take

tomorrow via plaster versus the STAR scanner.

I've also emailed Dr. Vicari and let him know I was uneasy with her

headshape still and asked if he would review her records and consider

banding her. I recall reading on here that he responds to email so,

we'll see how that goes.

Thank you so much for your support and insight!
