Re: Dr. Frim--to Amy

[Guest guest]

It would be very cool if we ran into each other. He is only in on Thurs. (which is probably why you can't get ahold of him ever) so we will probably run into each other depending on the time your appt. is. Ours is at 1:30. Dr. Frim said he would write a letter to our pediatrician because she has to make a referral for the insurance to consider covering it and then he said he will write a letter of medical necessity based on her tort. Dr. Holler was probably the woman you saw. She did 's initial assessment and then consulted with Dr. Frim who came in and told us what the next step was.

We have the appt. with Dr. Frim this coming Thurs. to get the results of the MRI and then on the 31st for her checkup with her helmet on. We go on Monday for her MRI...it sucks having to travel two days in a week to Chicago but they couldn't get them scheduled on the same day. gets her helmet on Tues. I will definitely let you know how does in her helmet and hopefully we can run into each other in Dr. Frim's office one day!!! You will have to send me a pic of you guys so I know who I am looking for!!!

Adam's casting and poll question

Just wanted to let you guys know that Adam's casting went well. I was prepared for the worst (me in tears)--but it wasn't that bad. Adam's neurosurg is Dr. Frim and we went to Ballert too (small world, Taryn). Our ortho was Tom, not Jim. He was nice. Didn't cut a hole in the stocking ---said Adam could see and breathe through it fine. Adam wasn't freaking out, so neither did I. He did get a little pissy when Tom started to wrap his head like a mummy---but it was all over in 5 min. The hardest decision was which "wall paper" sample to pick for a design. Sounds like you must have picked white--since you're talking about decorating with stickers. I picked zig zag blue lines and colorful animals. We'll have to post pics when we have some. Poor kid didn't get his hair washed at the ortho and daddy didn't do it before bed. (I had to go to work this evening).

We go back on Mon, Oct 14th for the helmet. Hope he likes it....or at least, doesn't hate it. Also hope Cigna pays. Need a letter of med nec from Dr. Frim. I hate his voice mail---can never talk to an actual person!! We'll go back to Frim 2 weeks later to see how the helmet fits.

Someone wrote that they had a big 25# 1 yr old. Well, my almost 6 month old is almost 25 lbs. We'll get the official weight at the pediatrician on Thurs.

Last thing---I want to take a poll--Adam sometimes has tremors when he's nursing. His head and arms tremble/shudder (like shivers when you're cold). It lasts for 5-15 seconds....and happens about once a day now. The ped. thinks it's nothing to worry about...immature nervous system, etc. Although, she did rec an EEG--which came back normal (this was at his 4 mon appt). Not sure what to do from here---other than hope that he grows out of them. My hubby suggests that I'm just looking for things to be wrong with my son. I'm really not!!! just want a healthy boy (with a nice, round head). I'll prob discuss this again with my ped. next Thurs at Adam's 6 mon appt.

Thanks to all of you for welcoming me so warmly. It's kind of fun sifting through 100 e'mails/day. I think I've been tied to this computer too much. Mostly on after Adam is asleep.
