7/25

We are still in Iowa City for Mia's casting.  She is wearing her second cast as of now.  She will  receive her 3rd cast on Wednesday the 26th.  Mia's first day in a cast was pretty rough.  Brad was fortunate enough to miss that.  She has been doing very well in her casts ever since.  She seems to not be in any more pain.  Holly and I were commenting how her foot has been in one position for 20 months, and now in 2 weeks it has been moved dramatically.

We have many pictures that we will share later.  I forgot to bring the cable to attach to the camera...sorry! :)

Dr. Ponseti and his staff have been wonderful.  The first thing Dr. Ponseti does when he walks in the room is to pick up a toy and give it to Mia.  She is still very upset, but it does help put her somewhat more at ease. 

Thank you again for all of your prayers and support.
