Re: appointment with cranial tech

[Guest guest]

Amy:

Good luck at your CT appt Friday! You'll be very happy you're taking

Emma there - they really are experts who will give you their HONEST

opinion. They won't band Emma unless they feel it is completely

necessary.

Sorry to hear of your problems with your close-minded pediatrician.

Good for you though following your gut instinct.

I just saw a post on the board about BCBS paying - read that &

hopefully you'll have the same success.

Please let us know how the appt. goes & best of luck.
