Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 It was! And I, too, was so worked up about not wanting to make my ortho feel bad. But he was very nice about the whole thing and agreed with Dr. P. He also mentioned that Marcus's foot is very flexible (good dorsiflexion and abduction), which I think is a good thing. Hopefully it will be smooth sailing from now on. > > Glad it all worked out for you to consult with Dr. Ponseti and then have your ortho locally help you.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 That is a great report...and we will take a great report at any point along this journey. I like to hear of docs who are willing to learn from patients and from the master club foot doc, Dr. Ponseti. That is as it should be. And we will have a long term relationship with our local ortho so I want to stay on good terms. If my kids break an arm, he is who I want to fix them up. I trust him now. Sounds like you feel the same. Carol Update on ortho visit > > > My little guy had his ortho appt. today. It went very well. The doctor > saw the c-shape of the foot.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I do feel the same. He is a two hour's drive away but well worth it. > > > > Glad it all worked out for you to consult with Dr. Ponseti and > then have your ortho locally help you.
