Guest guest Posted February 7, 2002 Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 Hi Everyone, Well, after much discussion between my husband and I, we have decided to take Jenna off base for another opinion about her plagio. We have an appointment on Wednesday and are hoping to get a referral to a pediatric neurologist. I feel like this is the best thing we can do right now for her.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2002 Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 Dana: Getting a 2nd opinion is always a great idea. It is better to be safe than to be sorry. Be sure you let us know how the appt goes next Weds..

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 Hi Tami and welcome to the group! As you can see by the amounyt of responses that you've already received, you have come to the right place for info and to vent. I would reitterate what the other posts have said about Cranial Technologies and the DOCband. Even though I personally have not used them, I have heard wonderful things about them. If they feel that Annika doesn't need a band, then they will be forthcoming and tell you so. I'm glad you've found this group and I hope you stick with us!
