Welcome to the group, Lee. I am so glad to hear from an adult male! I have a

son

who will be 11 in October who is only 4'2 " . He has been on GH for 3 years, and

it is

not working too well for him. Were you ever on GH? If so, for how long and

from

what ages? I have tons more questions and would love to e-mail you privately

sometime. Many of us on this listserve will be at the annual convention in

Chicago

over the next few days, so you may not see as many posts as usual. We leave

tomorrow morning!

Welcome to our group Lee! Great to have you here. I am Carmen and My

8 year old son has RSS. His name is Storm and he is a great kid! What

an adventure our lives have been since his arrival!! I would not

change it for anything in the world! He is an amazing kiddo! I'm sure

he would love to know about you! It seems mostly women speak up about

RSS once they are grown and it is a blessing to have a young man on

here.

There is also a group for RSS adults & Teens called RSS people. If

you want to chat over there I'm sure it would be great for you and

them!

Thanks for making yourself available!

Hi Lee,

I'm a 21 year old with RSS from the U.S. As Ken mentioned, we do have

a group for teens and adults who have RSS called RSS People. I'm one

of the co-moderators for the group, and we would love to have you

join! I'm sure that the few male members we have on the list would

appreciate another one joining. Let me know if you have any questions

about the list...

Best Wishes,

Well, Congrats on your upcoming wedding -- you must be so excited. I am 8

weeks pregnant and had my Open RNY 11-05-02. I go to a monthly support group

that my surgeon holds and have seen over 10 healthy pregnancy and deliveries.

Closely watched by your OBGYN, they have not found any problems. I wish

you lots of luck and happiness

Hi -

They usually say that waiting one year to 18 months is the 'safe' zone.

But, it also depends a lot on if you have stabilized in your weight loss and

are

not losing a lot of weight anymore. My doctor told me that once you

stabilize for a few months than that 'safe' period could be earlier for you.

Once

you stop losing the bulk of your weight then your body is in the maintaining

phase which I was told was perfectly fine to start trying. You know your body

better than anyone else. Welcome to the group and good luck.

Welcome to the group. We also have 5 children, yet only one is mito affected. Two of our other children have ADD but are otherwise healthy. My children go as follows, we have two boys ages 10 years and 4 months and three girls, two are 7 currently (one turns 8 in March) and one two year old. Our two year old little girl is the one affected. She has been diagnosed as a non specific mitochondrial disease via fresh muscle biopsy. She has alot of issues wich seem to be better or worse given the day. I hope you find this group informative and a great support. I am so glad I found it because I have learned so many things about my childs health, that I may have otherwise never understood.

Best wishes.

Hi, welcome to the group. Feel free to remain in this group and ask

any questions you might have, but I also want to let you know that if your

looking for a group of adults who deal with Mito, there are several that can

be found at the yahoogroups site. This group is mostly geared toward family

of children dealing with Mito.

I hope you are doing ok following your loss. I am sure it has been

difficult and then to worry about your own health concerns as well.

Hi ,

Congratulations on your pregnancy! If you look on Dr. Ponseti's website

there is a list of the physicians qualified in his method. There is one in

England and a couple in Australia. Here is the link if you don't already

have it.

Hi everyone

I have just joined this chat group as I have found out that my son to

be (I am 22 weeks pregnant)has a club foot on the right foot. Based

on all the internet research we have done, my hsuband and I are

determined to use the Ponseti method. We are currently located in the

London but will be returning home to Australia for the birth (or at

least we planned till we found out the news). We just wanted to know

if any of you have used the Ponseti method in Australia or in London

and your experiences. My husband and I are seriously considering

about moving temporarily to Iowa for the treatment to assure us that

he will be receiving the best in the world. Any opinions?

I appreciate your help.

Hi

We live in Australia and my son has/had a RCF too. We are currently living in

Melbourne, but will be moving back to Sydney next year and will get a new doctor

in Sydney.

Our orthopedic surgeon follows Ponseti but he is not as stringent on wearing the

boots for as long as Ponseti (make sense). We have no complaints and would be

happy to give you his details if you would like them. He is high up the food

chain IYKWIM, has 4 children of his own so he understands all the emotions and

worry involved with a new baby. Knowing this made me feel more comfortable with

him.

We found out about the clubfoot around 14 weeks into the pregnancy. I don't know

how they found it but they did. When he was born he was seen by the

peadiatrican, who contacted our orthopedic surgeon. Billy had his first cast on

when he was 1 day old. We did not research the CF before he was born and were

just lucky to have been referred to a good doctor.

I met a mum whose daughter has bilateral clubfeet and she sees a Ponsetti doctor

here in Melbourne. I have also heard of an excellent Ponseti trained doctor at

Westmead Hospital (Sydney).

It might be worthwhile for you joining the Austfoot yahoo group and sending out

a message to see if anyone can recommend a doctor that will be near where you

live.

Good luck.

Hi Sharon

Thanks so much for your response. We actually will be

moving back to Melbourne so I would really appreciate

the name of your surgeon. We are also checking out

the Ponseti doctor in Melbourne and Sydney (if we have

to). Thanks for the tip about Ausfoot yahoo group. I

will join up today!

Thanks for your email. By the way, how is your son

doing? Has the treatment been really effective?

Cheers

Hi

Thanks for the info. We are checking them out and Dr

Ponseti also confirmed that these doctors have to

prove to himself or staff of their use of the method

so that is reassuring.

Thanks again!

Hi,

We live in London and know that the Chelsea and Westminister do

Ponseti. We went back to my husbands home in new Zealand and are going

back for futher treatment this Tuesday. Our surgeons name is Haemish

Crawford at the Starship Hospital in Auckland. You may be able to find

a surgeon in Oz via the Ponseti section on the Iowa Hopital web site.

That is how we found ours. He is excellent and are going back to him

for an ATTT as we think the continuity of care is important.

Ask us anything you like. We found out about our boy's feet at my 20

week scan. It was batter to know in advance because then we could set

the best up for him. He is now 3 and half and had a relapse on his

right foot. The left is fine so far.

Take care,

Hi le,

The fact that your doctor jumped right into surgery, if that is the

case, makes me think you should check into other dr. options anyway.

Was the Ponseti Method even an option given by your doctor? (I haven't

been on the board in about a month and missed your previous post).

Where do you live? If it were me, I would probably try to find a

doctor that at least knows the Ponseti Method, so if it still is an

option he would be the one to tell you. Let us know where you live and

maybe we can refer you to a dr. for a second opinion.

Congratutlations to you and your family. I know the feeling as when

our son was born-we had no idea he had club feet(bi lateral).

You are so blessed as you live in a town that has a great doctor-Dr

Dobbs-please, if he is not your doctor, I would suggest calling him as

he is one of the best in the area of club feet. Good luck with the

treatment-this group is extremely helpful!

Take care,

Congratutlations to you and your family. I know the feeling as when

our son was born-we had no idea he had club feet(bi lateral).

You are so blessed as you live in a town that has a great doctor-Dr

Dobbs-please, if he is not your doctor, I would suggest calling him as

he is one of the best in the area of club feet. Good luck with the

treatment-this group is extremely helpful!

Take care,

Kathleen
