[ ] Success story

I just wanted to share . . .

Some of you may remember that Nick had a combined OT and speech eval

done in July of last year that my husband and I strongly disagreed

with. It has taken quite a lot of talking in meetings, 2nd opinion

evals, long letters to boards, and more than it's share of anger and

tears but I finally got the message today from the director of the

E.I. program that the evaluation WILL be removed from Nick's file.

The case manager told me that there are no hard feelings, I was

simply advocating for my child. I also got the good news that they

WILL contract OUT of their county with a PROMPT cert. SLP if they

can not find an alternative here within the county that is

acceptable to us.

I am posting this because I want others to know that you CAN fight

the system and win. You CAN ask for something that is out of the

ordinary if your child needs it, and get it. Along those lines I

also want to say I hope that everyone takes a couple of minutes

today to call the 800 number to tell the senators what you think.

We CAN make a difference!

BTW, I would be happy to share our letter to the board of directors

with anyone that finds themselves ever having to do this type of

thing.

Hi , I have had great results from LDN. I was dx in 1999 but have had MS since 1983. In '83 I was dx with arthritis which blood tests say I don't have. The inflamation the doctor seen was from MS. I was going into a wheelchair very quickly and found LDN. I had been in a 3 month exaserbation and had started at 25mg. I now walk with only a cane for balance when outside. I starrted LDN 2 weeks later. I have been on it since December 17, 2003. I am still seeing improvements. So hang in there and happy healing. Hope all is well,

Kathy

Great!!!! WOW!!!!!!

Our son was in his helmet for 2.5 months. We were told around 4 but we hit a

couple good growth spurts, so we minimized the time.

>

> My son measured at 8 mm off. He got his helmet 3 and a half weeks ago,

yesterday he measured at 2mm, the orthotist said we can take it off when ever

we're happy with his head. SO if your doubting that the helmet will work hear my

story. We were told it would take 4 months and it's only been 3 and a half

weeks. For once in our lives some thing has taken less time than expected and i

couldn't be happier. We're going to leave the helmet on for a few more weeks, at

least until it starts to get really hot (we're in CA)

> The whole experience has been hard but the weeks really do pass by quicker

than you would expect and the child does adjust very quickly. We delt with

rashes and sweating, bad smells and tantrums, but it's all worth it to know my

little boy has gotten the help he needed and that his head will not bother him

in the future.

> We went through Hangers and were very impressed with them. They had a very

friendly staff and they booked us for same day app. when we were concerned about

any thing.

>

> I would recommend seeing a specialist if you think your child has

plagiocephaly even if your doctor tells you to 'wait and see what happens'

because the quicker you catch it the better. We got my son in the helmet right

befor a big growth spurt and thats why we only have to do just over a month in

the helmet.
