Mel,

That is so cool that you have run into a fellow banded beauty. I

have yet to see any here, but then again with 4 kids its not like I

get out all that much!

By the way, I know I am very late with this but I just wanted to

thank you for sharing yours and Leigha's story with us for the front

page star. Every time I sign on to the site, Kaylie waves hi to

Leigha!

Mel:

That's so cool you ran into a banded baby! I ran into one on mine &

Abby's FIRST trip out in public with her STARband last year. I was

sooo geeked & releived. I also ran into one a month or 2 ago as

well. I think banded babies are the cutest!

So did this woman's insurance cover her baby's band??????
