Hi

Thanks for the welcome and the congrats on my

pregnancy! We are very excited to be expecting our

first baby, and like most people I guess, never

expected that everything would go any other way than

perfectly until he arrived. I have had the best

pregnancy, with next to no morning sickness, little

weight gain and feeling great, so was quite shocked to

learn our baby would have some special challenges to

deal with.

I have had a few days to digest my most recent scan

results now, and while I still feel upset that our

little man will be facing some pretty uncomfortable

treatment as his welcome to the world, I am grateful

to have found this group (and overwhlemed by the kind

responses I have received from other members). I now

feel that with good advice and treatment, our little

fella will be just fine.

I have joined the Aussie group you suggested too.

Hopefully I will be able to build some relationships

with more local families as well ;o)).

As you noted in your email, we won't really know to

what extent our baby's shortened lower leg will be an

issue until he arrives. We are having fortnightly

scans over the next couple of months to track the

growth in those bones and I am praying that they

continue to grow normally from here on (keep your

fingers crossed for us).

I will also send the results of those scans to Dr

Ponsetti as you suggested....I don't think you can

have too much information!!

Thanks again for your advice.

Kath
