Absolutely not!! We go to both our regular doc, our MITO doc, and the MDA doc at the local hospital, they are separate things. We see the MDA doc once a year, sort of just checking in, how ya doin', that sort of stuff for their MDA database. How much MDA can do depends on where you live and the chapter (in Florida they wouldn't do anything for us, they considered a wheelchair a "convenience" since she could stand and walk 10' or so at a stretch and wasn't confined 24/7 to the chair, in Washington they offered to spring for an electric wheelchair!) but in all areas the clinic services and the camps are free. I've considered it a few times, I was just too scared to let my daughter go (overprotective I know). Then when I decided it would be OK, my daughter didn't want to go. Good luck!! kj mom to De-Arbra age 16 complex III (+2 others I forget cos they were less important to the doc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
