Guest guest Posted August 29, 2000 Report Share Posted August 29, 2000 That is sooooo great to hear!!!! How many casts does Dr. Ponseti think that will need? Congratulations on the wonderful news!!! Joanne Update on Hi everyone. Well we hve been in Iowa now for a week. It has been long but worth it. Sorry I have not been to update you earlier but I just found the public library with internet access. We were unable to get into the Mc house, so I have not had daily access to the net. Anyways is doing great. The first couple of days were rough but he is now used to the casts again and getting back into routine. Dr. Ponseti is such a wonderful man and we are so happy that we made the choice of comming here. We have gone from maybe doing full surgery to maybe not even having the tenotamy. We will find out on Friday. I will try to keep you updated after his next visit. If not it will be when we get home. Home sweet home, can't wait till I get back there. Take care Sue, Brent, Angele and LaPorte _____ <http://click./1/8725/4/_/675489/_/967568094/> <http://adimg./img/8725/4/_/675489/_/967568094/> _____ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
