Re: was casted for his DOC Band on Friday! (m)

Holly:

So happy to hear 's casting is over! Sounds like it went ok,

typical ticked off, squirming baby, but recovered in the warm bath.

Please let us know when the band is in.

Hi Holly:

Glad to hear it went so well. Rhiannon was just casted today and it

went well too. It's hard to watch them cry, isn't it? But, she too

recovered quickly and slept very well on the ride home.

Now to just wait to get our bands!!! I am so excited to see that

inicial movement, and am just so glad that we are doing it.

Good luck to you and , and keep me posted. When do you get

your band? Let's keep in touch as our babies are close in age

(Rhia's 4 months, almost 5 months) and they will have the helmets on

at the same time.

Kind regards,

, Rhiannon's mom
