Thank you for responding. When our nuero gave us names for

orthotists, one of the names he gave us was where you had gotten

Aitan's STARband. I knew right away to NOT go there. So I wanted to

take this opportunity to thank you for posting your story. I am

sorry that you had to go through it, but it was so wonderful of you

to share your experience. I guess it is stories like yours, and the

fear that I will have a similar situation is what got me thinking

about the FDA approvals and casting. Thank you for your insight and

for thinking that I'm not an idiot! ;o)
