Guest guest Posted August 13, 2002 Report Share Posted August 13, 2002 Kim: WOW, It sounds like Sky's pretty little head is rounding nicely! I'm so happy to hear of your great success after just such a short time already! We love hearing such great stories About your comment that the orthotist is the key, I couldn't agree more! Your orthotist sounds wonderful. Keep it up! Thanks for the good update. Debbie Abby's mom DOCGrad MI > > HI There!!! > > > My daughter Sky has been in Star band for 9 wks.
