Guest guest Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 , I;m happy to hear that your persistance has paid off and is in a well fitting helmet. It is very encouraging that Orthoamerica worked with you to find an experienced ortho. You are correct that the experience of the ortho is very important. I have heard of Botox injections for tort but as pp indicated I do not believe it is fda approved for infants. Is Natan's tort really bad? Is PT not working? Sorry, but I don't remember how old is? Is he approaching 18 months? I know around 18 months the muscle invovled with tort becomes "secured" to the skull and is difficult to correct with stretching and strengthening. Did the neurosurgeon reccommend the botox? What other advise did he give you? I would love to capture it in the tort files section.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Hi Jill, Wonderful news. Yay ! I really think we all fear regression after the band comes off. These past two weeks I've been looking at 's head non stop. Does it look flatter? Does it look rounder? Blah blah blah. It can drive one nuts. Our exit mold is in so we go pick it up tomorrow. I'm anxious, like you,(in a good way) to see the before and after in 3d. When is s birthday?

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Jill, I am very happy to hear that your question has been answered. YAY for improving!! That will be nice to have that mold. I'm going to check out his pics again (if I can locate the correct " " LOL) Please consider posting his pics from all angles in the future (if you have a digi camera). I would loooove to see future progress post-band and I think other parents may find it helpful too (that is, if we have enough storage space, it's time to clean house here).

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Jill, I'm really glad to hear that 's head is okay and may have actually improved. I think you made a good decision about going in for a consult. It only takes a few minutes and hopefully it put your mind to ease.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Hi Pam, One of my best friends here in Venice was on the transplant list – in and out of the hospital all the time until he started taking Leci-PC (phosphatidycoline 30%) from defatted lecithin soybeans He is back doing photography full time and in fact did the Hepatis Liver Foundation shots when they were here at Griffith Park 2 years ago. .We eat it with everything; breakfast cereal, fruit salad, smoothies, on a vegetable salad, on yogurt or ice-cream, etc. It is very sticky and has a taste that grows on you when you start to feel better from it. I have it in some of the formulas but will have to take it out of them since it is making the capsules gummy with the other ingredients and looks, well, gummy! Anyway, since one should eat it by the teaspoon on food it doesn’t make sense to cap it up. This is one food that has such a terrific benefit for the liver it can be taken even by ESLD folk. My friend is no longer on the transplant list! I m sending you a link to an article on our website but the short version is below: http://www.liverfriend.com/cms.php?language=en & content=Leci-PC+and+the+Liver & Submit=Go Conclusion: From the many controlled clinical studies conducted on thousands of human subjects to date, PC's confirmed clinical benefits include: 1. Successful improvement of specific indicators of liver damage 2. Faster functional and structural recovery of the liver tissue 3. Accelerated restoration of subjects' overall well-being My purpose in writing this is to offer to send some Leci-PC to as I did for my friend Stanley. It helped him so much he could go back to work. If you think she would take it, send me her address and I’ll send her a bottle to try out. It is so nice that you are able to visit her. Love & Light, Jay [ ] Update on Hi everyone. I am back from Atlanta and was able to see . I took and with me to the Woodstock support group and we had a great time! We stopped by Emory and hugged Tee and were there when they moved her across the street to the Rehab Center. She is temporarily off the transplant list again until they can get her strength built back up. She did get up and walk a few steps while I was there so that was encouraging. She has been in bed now for a month :-( She is very dehydrated and very swollen. She is not confused but very tired. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers and please send her a card if yo Jay u get the chance. She has gotten several and they really help to cheer her up! Write me if you need the address again. Take care of each other! Peace and Love, Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Hi Emilie, Good luck at the fitting. Thats a real bummber about having a different ortho. Did he say how long he'll be out? Hopefully his replacement will be as good.
