Guest guest Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 We are also going. My dh, myself, Livie and our older son Josh are all going. We've reserved a room at the Red Roof Inn already in anticipation of the RMH being full and local hotels being booked also. Jen & Livie (10-18-01 severe left clubfoot) Symposium We are going to the symposium in Iowa in November, but will have our whole family with us. We are on the list for RMH.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 I was thinking about the RMH too, but I didn't think we'd really be eligible since we won't be there for 'treatment'.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 I'm sure that others will post with news of the weekend and the symposium in Iowa, but wanted to say how much Claire and I enjoyed meeting the other parents and kids who were there. It was wonderful to be part of it. I heard that about 35 doctors or other professionals attended, from the U.S. and other countries, and it seemed to be a great success. They did something new this year, the " 1st Annual Ponseti Clubfoot Races " .. held at the fieldhouse, in which the kids raced around the track, with media on hand, and Dr. Ponseti at the " finish line " , overseeing it all. The story ran that night on the local TV news, and here is an article from the local paper: http://makeashorterlink.com/?S2E0139C9 Many thanks to Charity for all her hard work on the quilt and its presentation, and M., for instigating and organizing various gatherings. Others will have more info to offer, I'm sure, but I wanted to send greetings, and thanks, to all, for such a good event. and Claire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a long-time member but infrequent visitor to nosurgery4clubfoot. I just dropped in here because I ran across Theresa M's and Ponseti's name on that news article this morning. Update for the old-timers on this list: Ivy is now five years old and doing great with her foot. Her right foot is two sizes smaller than her left so we're happy Nordstrom's customers. Her right calf is also smaller than her left. Otherwise, though, she's doing great -- running, riding her bike, and doing all the outdoor stuff a girl her age should be doing. I don't have any real recent photos online, but here's one of her from Spring 2003 on a family hike up a mountain. http://www.masoner.net/photos/estescone/EC52.jpg We mention the idiopathic talipes to any doctor she sees and they're all amazed at the flexibility of her foot. It's good to see the Dr. Ponseti is still going strong there in Iowa. Masoner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 , I've been meaning to write and thank you for your symposium news. I really wish we could have been there, but time constraints for such a long trip made it impossible. It's our busiest time here. That Ponseti race sounds so cute, what a great idea! Take care, and 24 jan 2003, bilateral cf www.clubfoot.co.za Symposium I'm sure that others will post with news of the weekend and the symposium in Iowa, but wanted to say how much Claire and I enjoyed meeting the other parents and kids who were there.
