Kristi-

You are freakin' kiddin'! How did that happen so quickly? Holy

mackarel, those must have been some major growth spurts. I can feel

your excitement! Your perseverance really paid off!

You MUST take him to mass now to see that dr who brushed you off.

Do you have ' before pictures?

So many people told us we were imagining the plagio. When I saw his

before pictures on casting day,I even questioned if there was a

problem b/c they didn't seem bad to me. Boy, when you compare them

to the after photo, it is soooo apparent. I would post them here,

but it is an enormous file and you have to have powerpoint to open

it. I don't have a scanner, otherwise I would use that. Make sure

you get those b/f and after shots from . Send them to all the

dr. who gave you trouble along the way. It will totally prove that

you were right. You can help kids out in the future.

Way to go mom!

> Do you have ' before pictures?

yes, and I am going to have email them to me so I can post them

here. Are they going to do after pix? I really want the after

measurements (i'm an accountant by trade so numbers talk for me!!).

Like I said, I don't know exactly what she meant by almost done, but

it doesn't really matter. We have definately seen some change and

that is what does matter. If he finished up sooner than the

originally estimated 4.5 months - do we get some of our $2900

back???? I mean - that money includes all the adjustments and if

he only had to have say 6 weeks worth instead of 4 months shouldn't

we be entitled to some back? (I told you I was an accountant!!)

No, you don't get any money back! It's a flat fee! LOL! Maybe you

should tip them instead! It'll save you a lot of gas money!

We were told he was almost done when Dane had about a month to go.

took after pictures and measurements.

Did MMO pay for the band? I have heard they are pretty good. We

recently switched to them. I thought I remember you saying you had

MMO.

Woo hoo!!! That IS great news Kristi!!! And very encouraging for

me, since my son , Chase, (11 months) just got his helmet on

the 12th of September and we've already noticed some changes.

His was very mild too!

Oh well! (of course, I figured as much!!!)

> I thought I remember you saying you had MMO.

I do and we're still waiting to hear. I am having trouble getting

the Dr who wrote the rx to write the letter of medical necessity. I

have never been told " no " when I ask, if fact, they say they'll get

it to me ASAP but then I never get anything. I called again today

and was told, " Oh yes, we have a form letter for that, I'll get it in

the mail to you and the ins. co. today " We'll see!!!
