The first doctor (resident) said 5mm. The second (attending) said

just under 8mm. They both seemed to steer us away from banding

/helmeting, which is why I was less concerned than Dad, at first

anyway. I mean, they're neurosurgeons, right? The attending is very

well known and respected, and Childred's Hospital is the best in the

area.....

I know we don't want to wait much longer. Will make a decision by

next week, and probably make an appointment.

The place they gave us a prescript for is Hanger. Any thoughts on

them?? Haven't checked with insurance, but worried they won't --

switched baby to Dad's insurance 2 months ago, and have a feeling

they're stricter than my plan would have been.

Thanks, everyone!!

Thanks
