Hi all,
I missed the original post here. (I do actually read my e-mail
sometimes...) Can someone fill me in? Are we talking about Dorzal
rhizotomy? How old is your daughter, Elaine? Have we discussed Botox? I
will reserve comment until I know more details, but I do agree with Anne and
Mag's comments.
Thanks,
Jill Jacobs
