Guest guest Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Joanne, I had to email Joyce to find out myself. When Ava was out to see Dr.. Ponseti in March he mentioned he wanted to see her in October for his symposium. At the time they were not clear on the dates. I just received an email from Joyce. She said the symposium is in October and the dates are the 7 & 8.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 There is a flyer out on the U of I website: http://www.medicine.uiowa.edu/cme/pdfs/ponseti%202005.pdf advertising the symposium -- gives the schedule and registration information. > > Does anyone know the dates for the symposium in > > November in Iowa this year?

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Hey all, I was wondering what the interest level is here for going to this symposium? I was thinking that if a bunch of people from the group are going we could set up a dinner or lunch for the parents. What does everyone think? > > Does anyone know the dates for the symposium in > > November in Iowa this year?

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 I was looking at that, and is it really $400 to attend, or is that just the fee for physicians. Obviously, I don't need to learn how to cast a baby! I just thought it would be really cool to go, and since we are so close to Iowa, it would be a unique road-trip. (plus, it is a good way to hide...that weekend is my 30th!) > > > Does anyone know the dates for the symposium in > > > November in Iowa this year?

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 I'm not sure, I guess we could ask Joyce? Or does anyone who has been before know? > > > > Does anyone know the dates for the symposium in > > > > November in Iowa this year?

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 That would be fun but we would have the kids with us when we make the trip. I still hope to meet some of you anyway. How does it work if he is seeing your child? Is it just like a normal visit? KK > > > Does anyone know the dates for the symposium in > > > November in Iowa this year?

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 They were also working toward a quick-release for the shoes so it won't be such an ordeal with shopping carts ect... I'm not sure where they are on this one though. fabegirls wrote:That would be fun but we would have the kids with us when we make the trip. I still hope to meet some of you anyway.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Kari, I have no clue. If he said he wanted Ava there for the symposium I would think that means he would like to use her for one of the demonstrations for the other doctors but if nothing like this has been discussed with you I would talk to Joyce about it, I guess. Can anyone who has been to the symposium before give us a clue what it is like? I pictured it like a medical conference where they are giving a talk in a meeting room but how would that work if they are going to be casting and possibly even doing a tenotomy as it indicates on the program?

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Faith, I know Dr. Dobbs is working on a whole new prototype that does have the quick release but it is still in the design stages as far as I know, they have not actually started using them yet. > > > > Does anyone know the dates for the symposium in > > > > November in Iowa this year?

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 This may be a repeat of info. We went this past fall to the symposium. I did sit in on some of the lectures that sounded interesting. Some of the info was technical and sort of hard to understand but it was interesting. My husband watched Rachael while I sat in on the lectures. The weekend was nice because we were able to meet other parents and their children who had experienced the same sort of things we had. Hopefully Joyce will schedule appointments for the children that the doctors will be seeing this year. It would probably make the day go a lot smoother.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 , I picture it as you said, a conference. When I conversed with Joyce, she said she would contact me with the details. Dr. Ponseti didn't plan the schedule yet for the times he wanted the kids to arrive. I was just jumping the gun for info to see what to expect. Thanks anyway.
