You know, at first I thought that article was a bit bizarre by it going play

by play like reading a book- and then I thought, I probably had those

conversations about this process myself- but what bothered me most was the

lighthearted attitude shifted towards it being only " cosmetic " by the writer

not talking about the potential medical issues later in life (TMJ, vision

problems) in more detail. I tend to think that if the bones are shifted and

not growing correctly, especially when the jaw is involved, there would be

some discomfort down the road at the least. This is not just cosmetic, I

feel its a medical neccesity just like glasses and braces are so widely

accepted. URRRRGGGGG!!!!! Good thing we're fighting for our kids when no

one else will!! Thanks for sending that- it was definetly worth reading (it

did cover a lot of points that were right on so at least some of it will get

through!)

P.S. Dane looks fantastic!!!!! WOOHOO!!! He must be close to graduation???

I was happy to at least see something written. My thought was at

least if the word got out that problem can be treated, people will

take the initiative and do their own research.
