Guest guest Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 We've been out here almost 2 months now and I've done really well with it all especially knowing how blessed we are to be able to have her here with Ponseti. However, today I'm really bummed after hearing Ponseti expects that we will be out here at least another 3-4 weeks or more. I'm desperately missing my son that started kindergarten this year. I'm sorry to complain but it's really hit me today. I don't want to miss being home for Halloween,too. had x-rays done today and then a doctor from Canada that flew in today also saw her. Both him and Ponseti we're really looking at her little feet closely as he is trying to figure out his course of action at the end here where her feet are suddenly not responding as well as he would like. Please keep her in your prayers as I'm hoping that all of a sudden things will fall into place again. Earlier in her casting we were slowed down quite a little bit when her one heel would not drop and he was afraid it was stuck which would have added 2-3 more weeks of casting, but suddenly the next cast change it dropped down. Hopefully this is the case now and suddenly things will start moving again so we can get home before the end of the month. (Today was her 11th cast change.) In regard to the symposium, we'll be there as is going to be introduced to the doctors on Saturday and then today they asked us to be there Friday as well in the morning. I would love to meet up with any of you that are coming out here for it and hopefully we can all go to dinner as suggested in an earlier e-mail by someone in the group. Take care!

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Aw Joyce, I know it's hard. Hindsight being 20/20 and all too bad you didn't just bring your son with you. Kindergarten is no big deal, nothing you couldn't have covered with him at the RMD house We were only there 3 weeks last time but I took my Kindergartener son's school work with me there. Not like there isn't plenty of time on our hands there huh. Have you managed to get out and about so you're not suffering cabin fever? s.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Joyce, We will be there for the symposium and I am really looking forward to meeting you! Theresa emailed you I think, regarding dinner on Friday night, that will be fun. I will probably be away from the computer after Thurs. morning since we will be driving up to Iowa in the afternoon, but I will probably see you on Friday morning as well. I was originally planning to go to the symposium just for a learning experience and then our doctor, Dr. Dobbs from St. Louis (that's where I am too) asked us to participate in the symposium so we're all going.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Joyce- Please let me know if there are any creature comforts you and may want or need! I know this group would love to help you make your time at Iowa more manageable. Although we can't get your son/family to you, we may be able to help other wise. Think about how fast these 8 weeks have gone-4 might seem like a long time but it will go by quickly. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you and ! Sje certainly is a cutie bug!

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Hi , Somehow I missed Theresa's e-mail about dinner Friday night.
