Guest guest Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 , That's really good news, and inspiring for those of us with younger ones watching Claire's progress. Thanks for all the feedback, to remind us again that we have a bright future to look forward to! and 24th Jan 2003, bilateral www.clubfoot.co.za good news checkup Just wanted to post to say that Claire, almost 4, had a checkup with Dr. Ponseti, and she's doing great.. her foot is flexible and looks normal. She has been in the nighttime brace all this time. She'll continue a bit longer with it, just to be on the safe side, since she does fine with it. It was good to be back in Iowa; the clinic was busy and full of patients.. Dr. Ponseti looks wonderful -- so fit and energetic; it was a joy to see him, and Dr. Morcuende as well -- and, of course, to get such a positive report! We were sorry to have just missed Tina and Kavan, and Jen and Livie next week.. I met a few parents in the hallway and lobby, and wish I could've met more! It was a bit of a whirlwind, flying in and out. Just passing our news along, by way of encouragement.. and Claire, 6/29/00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 Congrats on the great check up with Claire! I think it is sooooo important for all parents (new and old) to see these positive posts especially when so many relapse post have been posted. and > >Reply-To: nosurgery4clubfoot >To: nosurgery4clubfoot >Subject: good news checkup >Date: Fri, 16 Apr 2004 16:06:53 -0000 > >Just wanted to post to say that Claire, almost 4, had a checkup with >Dr. Ponseti, and she's doing great.. her foot is flexible and looks >normal.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Great news ! I'm glad Claire's foot continues to do so well. I wish we could have met more parents a few weeks ago while we were there, I wish I would have known you guys were going to be there in the same month we went, I would have tried to schedual the same day. Well, we'll meet one of these days I'm sure! :-). We did see an adorable baby boy the morning we had our appointment, he is just starting out and I could'nt help remembering those early days way back when. One of the nurses brought him in to say hi to while Dr. Ponseti was examining her. I did'nt get to meet his mom though, I love to meet the moms and dads just starting out so they can see what a wonderful end outcome Dr. Ponseti does. We also remembered to take a picture of in front of her picture on the Ponseti quilt this time, she's so tall now (and her picture is low enough on the quilt)that I didn't have to hold her up this time. :-) Congrats again on Claire's great report!!
