Re: Is anyone familiar with a Ballert Helmet - Thank You/Ray

[Guest guest]

Ray:

It sounds like you had a great appt and have an experienced orthotist

who sounds very thorough!

Shew, I am glad the casting went so well! That's gotta be a huge

Please let us know when the band comes in & how everyone adjusts.

Best of luck - keep us posted and thanks for the good update.
