Lily AGAIN...jumping for joy in Illinois

Happy Friday, all. Hope you are not tired of hearing about Lillian.

I am just so fired up.

We had our third visit with Dr. Ponseti today and WOW her feet are

beautiful. BEAUTIFUL! I actually teared up looking at them between

cast changes. They look like feet! Not the " squares " I brought to

Dr. Ponseti just a few weeks ago and that I thought she would have to

live with (I didn't care about the appearance of her feet just

function but the appearance was an indicator of impaired function).

A year into treatment and I thought the feet she had were as good as

it would get. I had wondered how those feet she wouldn't even put

weight on were going to serve her in life and now!!!!...we have only

good reports. It seems like the world is her oyster...we have no

ballerinas or star rugby players in our family but SHE could be the

first!

I reflect on this morning with awe of the miracle Dr. Ponseti is

working on her feet. He is pleased and I am ecstatic.

On a sidenote, the visits to the office are wonderful--Dr. Ponseti

and are just incredibly kind and gracious with dear Lily (and

her mom).

I have some pictures from today to post once I figure out how.

Thanks again for pushing me to Iowa.

Hi ,

We NEVER get tired of reports like this lol!! This is the end result

of why so many of us stick around to help other parents long after

our kids have no 'issues' with treatment (hope you will too). It is

just so rewarding to hear of your Lillian's progress with Dr.

Ponseti!! Congrats we are thrilled for you!
