Re: Looking for Help in Colorado - Tricia?

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

you should really push for this. so many colorado mom's post to say

that their docs don't " believe in banding " . what is to believe? it

works! keep trying to find someone who will support this. you can

search the database here to find someone. There is a mom in this

group, Tricia, who's baby got a band at Hanger in Aurora. Maybe you

can get the info from her, or call the hanger facility and see if they

can recommend a doctor who will refer you (you need an Rx). Also maybe

you can see how Tricia's baby is doing.

good luck.
