Guest guest Posted August 14, 2002 Report Share Posted August 14, 2002 Kristi - Unfortunately, they can't do the casting w/o the script. You might want to call your ped and tell him that you have an appt for Saturday. If you wait to see Dr. Papay, you will have to wait another couple of weeks to get rescheduled. already had cranio ruled out, right? Dane's mom DOC Grad > Well, sorta.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2002 Report Share Posted August 14, 2002 Kristi - If it would help, I can drive Dane to your ped to see his head now and headsicle from before banding. His head was moderate. I assume has been measured since he already has a casting appt. or is it mild just by the ped's eyeview. I don't understand why a ped can't respect the parents decision to band. It's not like you are asking for drugs! I would love to get the heck out of town and can visit my friend in Columbus.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2002 Report Share Posted August 14, 2002 Kristi: That is good news! I'm almost positive CT requires the rx before they'll cast a baby......maybe you could call your ped back, ask for the rx this week yet, and promise you'll see the specialist next week per his request! Then you could be casted Saturday still?! It's worth a phone call. Debbie Abby's mom DOCgrad MI > Well, sorta.
