Cara - can you have your little one independently tested by a PT and OT ? That's what we do with Maia and then present the evaluations to them at IEP time - even though they have done their own evaluations.

Best to ask George Fleites (his insurance precert person) for the details....

do you have his number? (I don't have it handy... hopefully someone else will post it)

<t>Hi Molly...<br/> Maia had this done and this was her most favorite surgery. She got her wish - she told Dr. Nath that she wanted a straight arm and he gave it to her!! Also - it's the only scar that doesn't show AT ALL. It's right in her elbow crease. We are now doing NMES to strengthen her trice...

<r>Shannon - normal 5 point harness carseat.. what you are using now will probably be fine... the immobilizer is not bulky at all... take a look at Maia on this page <URL url="http://www.injurednewborn.com/maia/homepage2.html">http://www.injurednewborn.com/maia/homepage2.html</URL><br/> <br/> all ca...

<t>do a google search on myotherapy and you will get to Bonnie Prudden's book.... you can actually learn how to do this on yourself but you can ask PTs, chiropractors, massage therapists if they are trained in trigger point therapy.<br/> <br/> If you were only closer......<br/> <br/> -francine<br/> ...
