I wouldn't be comfortable with a place that does 4 or 5 a year.

I didn't realize that the docband I was no longer available in Oh.

That is too bad. I did look at their site and I see there aren't any

in Ohio now.

Do you have A/C in your house? If not maybe you can put one in your

daughter's room. Most kids do well in bands, and summer is not really

that hard deal.

If you haven't seen results with repo I would definitely go ahead

with banding. I added Ohio to the subject line, so maybe a local mom

can recommend a provider.
