Update: Rhiannon's casting day

[Guest guest]

Hello to all:

Well, after last week's bad day, I have more good news. My Cranial

Osteopath wrote the prescription for Rhiannon's DOC band (he's an MD,

with a DO specialty), so we don't have to see the neurosurgeon in

Madison. This works well for us, so we can get her casted early on

Monday morning and start our drive home. (If we had had to see the

neurosurgeon we would have had to wait until 3:00 p.m. for the

script, then do the casting.)

So, we are very excited, and ready for Monday. I know the casting

will be hard, but hey, it will be over soon and we'll be on our way.

We will have to drive 5 hours 1 way each week, but I have just

surrendered to that fact and it will be OK. Like I told my husband,

if we would have had to travel to Brazil, we would do it. (It would

have been more fun to travel to Brazil for 2 months, but oh well, our

cards came up with Madison, Wisconsin. LOL)

My mom will be traveling with Rhia and myself most of the trips, as

my husband has to be at work (mandatory overtime). So, we will just

make the most of it and come August it will all be behind us!

Here's to big growth spurts to all our little ones in bands. Thanks

to all who have gone before me and have excellent advice to those of

us experiencing this situation now. BTW, I will be checking into

Angelflight, and hope that we can use it at least a couple of times.

Did I mention I'm in school right now too? I'm hoping I won't miss

too many classes, but hey, my baby comes first.

Kind regards,

, Rhiannon's mom

Great news that the wheels are finally in motion for Rhia! You sound very at

peace now and I'm so glad that you finally found some educated people to

steer you in the right direction (if only for referrals!

You have a fantastic attitude about the drives, it really is great that you

are acknowledging that this will be a brief moment of time in Rhia and your

family's lives, and the results will be so rewarding I'm sure! Good luck to

you and please keep us posted!

Sounds like things continue to go well for you and Rhia. Glad to hear that

your mom will be able to accompany you on your long trips. That will truly

make a difference!

Good wishes to you and let us know how the casting goes.
