Charity,

I'm so glad to hear that your surgery went well. What an ordeal! I'm

so sorry you've had to go through this and wish you the very best for

a successful and speedy recovery.

Thank you much again for your hard work on the quilt during such a

stressful and busy time for you. It's a wonderful gift .. thanks to

your husband for all he did too.

Best,

and Claire

P.S. just fyi, in case you haven't seen it, and for others too:

here's a link to a short news story I saw about the observation of

Dr. P's birthday by his colleagues a couple of weeks ago:

Charity,

I didn't read your message in time to wish you good luck with the

surgery, but I'm happy to hear it went well!

I bet the quilt is lovely and can't wait to see the pictures. We are

so proud to be a part of it all the way from Finland!! Thanks once

again!

the quilt. Hope to see you sometime soon!

Quilt Update / Charity's Surgery

Hello everyone,

Things are looking better than I expected!!! My surgery went well, all

of my

hardware (1 plate and 12 screws) was removed quite smoothly. There was a

little tugging on the muscles and some bone growth on the plate that

needed

to be removed, but all in all a clean job!! I can actually already take

a

few steps here and there, amazing in my eyes!!! I had four incisions one

fairly large, but they are healing relatively well. They are quite

painful,

but I have good drugs for that! : ) I feel pretty good, but I do require

a

lot more rest then I am used to. I must say the hardest part for me is

to

sit still and do nothing for soooo long!! I have a follow up appointment

this Friday and should know more about the length of my recovery then.

I'm

hoping for some good bone growth in the holes from the screws.

GUESS WHAT I HAVE THE QUILT!!!!!! It is absolutely beautiful!! My

husband is

fixing our digital camera and we plan to take pictures over the weekend.

I

will post pictures of the quilt hopefully next week so you all can see

the

pictures!!! I have a call in to the administrator at the University of

IOWA

to plan some type of presentation of the quilt to Dr. Ponseti on our

behalf.

Unfortunately there is no big celebration, but it the message we send

and

that's a big one!! We love Dr. P!! I also plan to send the donations to

the

University Of IOWA with the quilt, probably by the end of next week, so

if

there is anyone else who would still like to contribute please let me

know

ASAP and I can make sure you will be included!!

Thank you all for your continued support.

Charity and Trenton (8-24-00)

Charity,

I still can't believe everything you've gone through and how well you seem to be

doing! Yeah!---keep up that positive attitude, I'm sure that's doing wonders

for your

recovery.

Thanks for all your hard work on the quilt---we all appreciate it!

and Devlin (Gallagher)
