Re: Rushing:Went to the DR. today!!!!

[Guest guest]

I'm so glad you found a good doctor that checked everything out.

Although the hip/leg problem sounds serious, I'm sure it is important

that you find it now. Especially if it is something your first doctor

missed.

The band is really easy once you get past the first week or two. The

hardest part may be the travel) not sure if you're in Memphis, or it

is a drive.

Lots of people have to appeal to get insurance coverage for their

band. We were lucky that ours was covered 100% upfront - that is

pretty unusual.

Good luck with everything and let us know what happens next.

Hi Misty-

Glad to hear that you've at least gotten the helmet/plagio situation

under control. I did look at 's photos when you first posted

them and think she would definitely benefit from the helmet. So it

sounds like you're doing a great thing there.

I'm sorry to hear about her hip problem. Did the doctor mention the

phrase " hip dysplatia " ? That's what it sounds like to me, but since

you didn't mention an official diagnosis, I can't be sure. We have a

family history of hip dysplatia and would be happy to fill you in on

some things if that is what she may have. I don't want to get into

it without knowing for sure though, so just let me know and I can

email you what my mother-in-law and brother-in-law went through.

I hope everything works out for you. Hang in there!
