Guest guest Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Coolies ! Can't wait to hear the report about your visit with the other Dr. P! Show him Dr. Ponseti's letter, I think that Dr. Ponseti says the crease is the deepest he's seen is very interesting. You don't happen to have pics of the soles of his feet from before correction do you? If you do have any pics from before casting started, be sure to take them to Dr. Pirani. He was at the symposium a few weeks ago and I'm sure heard Dr. Deitz's talk about atypical feet. It'd be interesting to let them see if they can see anything happening with the treatment process that may have resulted in the atypical foot. It seems there's a bit of interest as to the validity of that theory with the docs now and anything to help them figure it out would be helpful for all of us. Here's to a great visit with the good doc! Kori At 06:11 PM 10/24/2005, you wrote: >Hi all - well it's been a long week waiting for our appointment!

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 I have photos of Hayden's feet the day he was first casted. There aren't too many clear ones of the bottoms of his feet, but it may be enough for Dr. Pirani to see what they were like. I'll have to look through the birth photos also. I thought that was interesting what Dr. Ponseti said too and I'm really glad that I emailed him! --- frogabog wrote: --------------------------------- Coolies !

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Good for you, . I'm so glad you're going to see Dr Pirani and that your hubby is more receptive. I hope this will make all the difference! Good luck today! Faith Cohen wrote: I have photos of Hayden's feet the day he was first casted.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 , Just to clarify, if you plan to bring up with Dr. Pirani the atypical discussion that went on at the symposium, this discussion was during Dr. Morcuende's talk about atypical feet, and Dr. Dietz was in the audience and spoke up about his experience and thoughts. Just wanted to clear up our factoids - so I don't get in trouble for mis-speaking what Dietz had to say! :-) > >Hi all - well it's been a long week waiting for our appointment!
