I know we’ve been MIA for a few, but with good reason… we’re in Iowa! Well, Shepherd and I are. We flew in last night, LATE, thanks to some bad weather in Atlanta and a very busy travel weekend due to the 4th of July. But we’re HERE and our first appointment is this morning to see Dr. Morcuende and Dr. Ponseti. I am so excited for Shepherd, this is the beginning of a whole new life for him!
Sending prayers your way that all goes smoothly! How exciting for Shepherd! It won’t be long before he is running after Jude! 😉
Yeah!! Thanks for letting us know. I will be praying all goes well. What a blessing that it worked out for just you and Shepherd to go.
Wonderful news. I hope you have a fun,productive trip.

Glad that you’re in Iowa now! I know Shepherds feet will look beautiful soon. How long are you staying?
I’ll be thinking lots of positive thoughts for you.
Looking forward to seeing Shepherd’s transformation. What a lucky little man to have such great doctors to care for him!

He is an amazing man…..He fixed my friends daughters bi lateral club feet….Aliyah Dermer, her mom is Robin. She said he was a god send for her and aliyah, she flew every 2 weeks from florida in the middle of winter….and with the internet more children will be healed by his hands!!! Best of luck, shepard could not have been placed in better hands, and hearts than yours!!
Stefanie! SAFE TRAVELS and BLESSED APPOINTMENTS for Shepherd!!!

How exciting! That little man will be running around before you know it!
So happy to know the process is getting under way!
No way!! We were in Iowa this morning too. We saw Dr. Ponseti this morning at 9:00am. Eli’s feet look great, no new castings, just the brace at night and nap. We were thrilled with the work they had done in China. I’m excited to hear the changes ahead for Sheperd!
YEA! What awesome news! We just drove through Iowa today too! Hope all goes well for the first appt! 🙂
Our prayers are with you. God Bless you, what wonderful people you are!
Great news on the trip! We are praying for ya’ll! I know that this is a big step in Shepherd’s life and he has the greatest family to run to now. Let us know how things go.
Praying God’s hand upon you & your precious Shepherd (and the rest of your family while you are away). It’s been amazing to read your blog and follow your latest journey. God is SO good! Blessings & peace.
Stefanie,
Can’t wait to see him running with his brothers and sisters! I still remember how much I loved the video you posted of Jude learning to hustle on those beautiful little feet 🙂
Safe travels…
Hugs,

My second son is in Iowa City this week at a sports camp, If I was with him I’d run over and pray with you. Now I will pray from the other side of the state.
God Bless your visit,
Karen Whitt
Good luck to you and Shepherd!
