Re: Maysa's 3rd adjustment

[Guest guest]

Hi,

how did you get the band fitted initially without seeing the ortho? Do

they have someone else in the office who is adjusting the helmets, but

is not an ortho? That would worry me - at least enough to question if

they were properly trained.

I'm glad the helmet is fitting better. Please keep up posted on

Maysa's progress. She's a beautiful little girl.

Well, the ortho himself made the band and his partner (who is also an ortho) fitted Maysa on the first day. It's just that it needed to be adjusted and neither one of them was here on Wednesday. Therefore, I had to wait until Friday.
