Re: modquad--Opinions?

My son Joshua did NOT have the primary but did have the mod quad at 3 years old. He got great movement from it and am so glad we did it. They have recommended another surgery for the last year, but I am holding off for now. Good luck to you.

Re: Preschool Visit

<r>Francine I do a once a month volunteer in my sons kindergarten class. Its great. I just want to see how he interacts with the other kids and how the BPI affects him, if at all.

Re: All mod quads followed by caps?

<t>My son Josh had the moad quad at age 3. When he was 4 they recommended the caps (which we did not do) and they recommended it again this year at the NY picnic.
