Some exciting news to share

October 24, 2005

I have been sitting on some news for about a week. (NO, I am NOT

pregnant again )

I got a call from Joyce (Dr. Ponseti's secretary for those who don't

know) saying a group was coming to do a story on Dr. Ponseti and would I

like to be a part of it. Of course, I didn't have to think twice about

it ... I jumped right on it. Well, today was our day for fame (or maybe

it's infamy)

After Jakob got home from school, we headed to the playground outside

the Iowa City Public Library. There, they taped Jakob climbing and

running around just being a normal (?) little boy. Then, they brought

us inside (it's rather cool outside today - not to mention all the

noise) for a quick interview. T., thanks for your wonderful PDF

file with the group info. I took that with me today and the interviewer

took it to hopefully use in the story. I also got to put in a plug for

the group during my interview (in regards to a question about becoming

an " advocate " for the Ponseti Method. All in all, I think it was a cool

experience.

They also had an interview with Dr. Ponseti and they taped a baby being

casted. I didn't get to see those parts of the story, so the end result

will be interesting for me as well.

For those interested, the group is called Medstar and they are based in

town, PA. I'm not sure what markets their stories are shown, but I

will try to find that out for anyone who wants to see it. I'm also

supposed to get a VHS copy of it after it's done.
