Re: Sleeping with DDB

[Guest guest]

Assunta,

my first doctor prescribed an AFO when we had problems with Lily's

Markells. Lily was fitted for the AFO and at the last minute, I

decided I wanted to push through with the Markells despite problems

rather than the AFO. I just had a " feeling " about the AFO and I was

so glad, when I read the answers to your post. So, I learned alot

following your thread. (a sidenote, we now are in the s and

with a different doctor!)

I was also overjoyed to read your post about e sleeping so much

better. How wonderful for him and how truly joyful for you. So

happy for your good news. Hoping you have many more days of good

sleep ahead.

(I feel the same way about this group!)
