Re: babyboy02 - update from Iowa City

Congratulations on your new baby boy. I'm glad to hear that things

are going well for you and him here in Iowa City. The folds of skin

are normal and do disappear in time. Now at 4, you can't tell there

was ever any extra skin near my son Jakob's ankles.

If you'd like to see an older child treated this way, my family enjoys

meeting others while they are in town. If you're interested, you can

call me at .

Wow- thanks for the encouragement. I was so worried

yesterday when they took ethan's first set of casts off-

I thought they might have cut him or something. I will

give you a call soon- thanks so much for the offer!

Thank you very much- I almost cried when I actually met

Dr. Ponseti. We had been driving for 2 days from denver

to get our new born baby to Iowa and it was such a

relief to actually be at the clinic. I appreciate the

warm thoughts!

Congrats on your baby boy! About the extra skin on Ethan's feet,

I've got some pictures of 's cf posted. Under the files

section, Trevillian folder, you can see her foot with the extra

skin at 8 mo. old, under the photos section, t folder, you can

see it at 2 y.o.

Hope this helps!

Thanks so much!! Ethan just got his third set of casts

yesterday and will have another set on Monday and we

might be going back to Colorado next Friday or the

following Monday. Dr. Ponseti is definitely everything

this board said he was. He just turned 88 last Monday &

is sharp as a tack! He is a true gentleman.

Take care,

Hi ,

I haven't been around much lately, but just noticed that you are from

Colorado, too. We are in Colorado Springs and would love to have

a " clubfoot friend " if you are nearby. I'm so glad that things are

going well in Iowa, and hope that you will keep us updated on Ethan's

progress!
