Guest guest Posted June 3, 2002 Report Share Posted June 3, 2002 We have our casting appointment tomorrow (Monday) afternoon. I am a little nervous. Any suggestions? I am making my DH go with me because Timmy is very squirmy lately and I can’t imagine holding him still by myself.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Hi Jill, Good luck with 's casting tomorrow. I am sure she will be fine. It only takes 12 minutes. has had 2 castings. He was 5 months with the first one and now he needs a 2nd band. He was 7 months with his second casting. Both times I made sure he was hungry for his bottle, but not too hungry where he was upset. He drank his bottle the whole time he laid down. The second part where he needed to sit up he took his pacifier. During the first casting he cried a little when he sat up since he was younger and his head felt very heavy as he sat there with plaster on it! But I knew that he wouldn't even remember it afterwards so I was fine. Good luck with your insurance stuff!! Let us know how the casting goes.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Hi Jill, I'm probably too late. I hope casting went well. If I'm not too late. Take a lollipop (one that will stay on the stick well - not a dum dum). Also take a camera and at least one other person to act as photographer, toy picker-upper, etc. mom to na DOC Grad SCbarneybca2000 <jebrennan@...> wrote: Hi everyone,I will take in to CT tomorrow for casting of her DOC band.
