Guest guest Posted July 13, 2002 Report Share Posted July 13, 2002 Christi: Thanks for the update. You sound comfortable with getting a 2nd band for her, I'm sure you'll never regret the decison & this new band will finally re-align her pretty ears perfectly! Did you have a nice time at the amusement park? That sounds fun, I haven't been to a park in years, I used to love rollercoasters sooo much! I've got to get to Cedar point soon. But hubby is a big whimp and won't go on the rides Bummer that your husband is gone for so long . Let us know when she'll be casted again. Keeping my fingers crossed for Tri Care to come thru.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2002 Report Share Posted July 13, 2002 Hi, I'm sorry her evaluation didn't go as you had hoped. Hang in there! I saw that you were in the charlotte area for your eval, and this is where I am taking my son next week. I was wondering the name of the place - or if you were familiar with Carolina Neursurgery and Spine in Charlotte? I hope you had a great time at Carowinds. We use to live on Carowinds Boulevard and could see the tall rides from our home. Now we are about 40 minutes from charlotte.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2002 Report Share Posted July 14, 2002 Christi, I'm sorry that Mya will be in a second band, I know you were really wishing that she was done. But like you said, you knew in your heart that she would need one, and I think you would be second guessing yourself forever if you stopped at one band. I don't know a lot about how insurances work, but I would assume that Tricare would have to cover the second band, since this is continuation of treatment. If not, you already know how to successfully appeal them! Good luck Christi, and let us know when the casting appointment is. Niki Kaylie & Danny (STAR grads) Phila., PA > Hi everyone.
