Guest guest Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Hi everyone, I've just got back from the USA after spending a few days with and his family. I had the great privilege yesterday of having lunch with and his wife, AND Dr Ponseti and Mrs Ponseti!! What an honour! Anyway, Mrs Ponseti was saying she would really like to have a film of the children running in the Ponseti races a while back. I don't know much about the event she is referring to, but I do remember seeing some posts on here and someone posted some photos I think. Does anyone have a film which could be sent to Mrs Ponseti? Thank you, and hope everyone is keeping well, Stella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 I never knew something like this happened! I would also like to see some pics (or be directed to where they are). My husband was just saying today that all our Ponseti treated babies should get together! I bet this was a blast.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 And on that note... On Friday, my older boys did a thing called Run for the Arts at school. It raises $ for the school to bring in Young Audiences programs like music and dance, arts, etc. I used to Run for the Arts when I was a kid... it's been a thing here for ages. So my little girl, my three year old daughter with Clubfoot joined her brothers. She RAN the whole thing. She probably ran 6 1/4 mile laps. She never walked. Even when the bigger kids were walking, she ran. The whole way!! I am very proud of her! Clubfoot races... now that's a great thing to see.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Stella, It's so nice that you are looking into this for her. We were there for the first of these events in fall 2004. I have a couple of still pictures .. but no video. A local Iowa TV station was there to film it for the evening news, and a segment ran that night. I wonder if the station could provide a copy? M. was there .. maybe she remembers the station and might have a suggestion? I think from the hospital was involved in organizing it; she was the one who gave all the kids their " 1st annual Ponseti Clubfoot Races " T shirts. Of course the media/pr people at the hospital might know something about it as well. Hope you get some more info on it... > > > > Hi everyone, > > > > I've just got back from the USA after spending a few days with > > > and his family.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Hi Stella, I was wondering if Mrs Ponseti was thinking of the Ponseti toddle that Naomi arranges in Manchester. It's just that when we were up there this week she mentioned it to me and this post made me think of that. By the way feeling really jealous of you having been able to go to Iowa and meet the Mr and Mrs Ponseti. Did you go alone or take with you?

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Wow Kori- that's great! I bet your heart was swelled up so big! I can't wait for the time when Lucas starts doing stuff like that. It's amazing how others can take stuff like that for granted. I'm very thankful for every little thing Lucas accomplishes.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Hi Kathy Nice to hear from you. How's Ethan doing? No, Mrs Ponseti meant the races in Iowa - she was there herself and it would be so nice if someone had a copy of some video footage for her. Are you going to this years Ponseti toddle? I think the last time i spoke to Naomi, she said it would be around 10th July....did she tell you that date too? I went on my own to Iowa, to spend a few days with and hia family. It was great to see the business,and meet everyone involved. He has some great new products coming out soon, including a detachable bar which is a brilliant design, better than any others I've seen. I've volunteered for to try it out! ) We met Dr Ponseti and his wife for lunch last Thursday and I'm still getting over how wonderfully kind they were. Dr Ponseti remembered from last year when we went to visit him...I was just gobsmacked that he took time out to have lunch with us and he was so friendly and his wife just an amazing woman. She is writing Dr Ponseti's biography...I'd like to get my hands on a copy of that when its finished! We must meet up soon...Brighton isn't that far away, and with the weather getting warmer (except for the SNOW! today), it would be lovely to see you and Ethan again. Take care Stella > > > > Hi everyone, > > > > I've just got back from the USA after spending a few days with > > > and his family.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Stella, I have some snapshots of the clubfoot races from October, but no video. I'm sure someone videotaped it, but I really don't recall who might have. > > > > Hi everyone, > > > > I've just got back from the USA after spending a few days with > > > and his family.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 I have some camera shots at the Ponseti races and a wonderful picture of Dr. Ponseti and his wife laughing which I think I gave to him with some other pictures. If you want I can send them to you. Joyce Proud mommy of Faith- 4 years old - blcf > > Hi everyone, > > I've just got back from the USA after spending a few days with > and his family.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Hello everyone, Thank you so much for your replies. I think that a collection of photos sounds like the best way forward, unless anyone can remember the name of the film/TV company which had some footage. Perhaps I'll put together a CD with all the photos on it and post to Mrs Ponseti instead. So if anyone can send me some pics, I'd be grateful, and of course i will let Mrs Ponseti know that they came from the parents on here! I tried to open up the link on the previous posting, but unfortunately it didn;t work. Thank you!

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Stella, Look in the links section of the group's homepage, there's a link to the photos there under 2005 symposium and clubfoot races. If you still can't get them I can send them to you directly in a separate email. allison > > > > > > Hi everyone, > > > > > > I've just got back from the USA after spending a few days with > > > > and his family.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Hello, You all have perked my curiosity about this annual clubfoot race and the symposium in Iowa! Being a newbie I don't know anything about it but the pictures looked like fun! When does it occur and what all does it involve? The reason I ask is that Mallory is to return to see Dr. Ponseti in October and I thought maybe it would be fun to coordinate her appointment around the same time! Thanks! and Mallory (rcf-22/7 PM's for 1 more week and then decrease to 20/7) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 , The clubfoot races are something they just started in 2004 I think, but every year Dr. Ponseti and colleagues host a symposium for doctors around the country (and world) to come in for a two day course on the method. It's really a great experience, I had the fortunate opportunity to attend last year. At the symposium they invite several families at different stages of treatment to come in for demonstrations. At the end of the second day, they bring in a whole " parade " of kids at various stages of brace wear (including those done with brace wear, one of the " kids " last year was a 25 year old med school student), with their parents and Dr. P checks them all out and discusses their continued course of treatment and explains to the visiting doctors. Then afterwards everyone is invited to go to the U of I gym for the clubfoot races. Last year they also provided lunch for the families. It's a nice opportunity for some of the parents to meet as well as a lot of fun for the kids. It's not a huge " hyped-up " thing. I think there were probably about 25 kids who participated in all last year, and 2 adults in their 40's. They break it up into age groups and the little ones only run about 30 feet, and there are no " winners " , it's all just for fun. If you are interested in participating I would mention it to Joyce so she can let Dr. P know that you and Mallory would like to do it. > > Hello, > > You all have perked my curiosity about this annual clubfoot race and the > symposium in Iowa!
