Update on late walker

[Guest guest]

I wanted to thank everyone who gave me some advice. I know many of

you go to Iowa to see Dr. Ponseti himself, but I was feeling

comfortable with our local dr. in Minneapolis. I however took your

advice and sent an e-mail to Dr. Ponseti with a photo of her feet.

Out doctor was letting us wait until we were ready to make any

decisions and I didn't know what to do, but Dr. Ponseti sent a very

concrete e-mail telling me Grace needed to be seen right away. That

she is not fully corrected and will need to be recasted. We made the

appointment to see Dr. Ponseti for the end of April, dispite

insurance will not pay. I am happy to announce that Grace walked

today!!!! She is 21 1/2 months old and what a relief. Our doctor

would tell us thats great see you in six months, but we are sticking

with Dr. Ponseti and having her re-casted to fully correct her feet

that are very close, but not quite. I am newly inspired by Kavan

that Dr. Ponseti will be able to help her quickly. If you didn't see

my first e-mail Grace was serial casted for 14 weeks as an infant

plus an tentonmy with a 3 week cast. Well here we go and hope for

the best.

Thank You,

Bonfig
