Guest guest Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 I had an appointment with Dr Frick again yesterday to discuss Graces rockerbottom and other issues. I was planning to just take her to Dr Ponseti. I sent him an email explaining that no one was agreeing on what treatment was best for Grace and that I would like to bring her to Iowa to be treated. Well, this was probably a month ago and I never heard back. Instead he contacted Dr Frick and Dr Frick sent me an email saying he would be happy to see Grace again. Well, I took Grace to Dr Frick yesterday a little optimistic that he would cast her at Dr Ponseti's recommendation and that it would miraculously help. When we got there he said casts will not help. Then he discussed surgery again. So now I have to decide between surgery or going to discuss the Ilizarov with Dr Herzenberg. Dr Herzenberg and Dr Ponseti are both recommending that Grace not have surgery..........however I dont think Dr Ponsetis idea to just remold with casts will help at all and Im not sure if I can deal with all that goes along with the Ilizarov method. It is a very big ordeal. Anyways I know no one can really offer an advice, just thought I would share Graces latest update.
