Re: Has anyone been told they DO NOT need Triangle Tilt?

<t>Dr Nath has done primary, modquad, capsulodesis (Davino did humeral and forearm osteotomy) for Blake. He at first recommended TT via email and phone conversations and wanted MRI sent to him, but we saw him in person 6 months after that and he said no triangle tilt. I totally trust that he has our...

Re: things to do in Houston

how far is the space center from TCH? We will be going there in 10 days and I think Blake would enjoy it he is 8years old. Anyone taken a taxi there? also, how much is the taxi fare from Hobby to TCH? We always fly into Bush airport, but this time we are flying into Hobby.
