She had her last surgery in February up in salt lake city to lengthen the tendons in the sides of her feet. Then wore casts till May 12th and then AFO's at bedtime till September. She is now RUNNING!!! She's EVERYWHERE now and I never thought I would get so excited about watching a child stand up in the middle of the floor:) She goes back for a check at the Shriners clinic in Sept 2005. They say it looks like she'll need a tendon transfer.

Hi Rhonda,

Thanks for the update! I'm so happy to hear Kathleen is running and being an active toddler. Great news. Take care and enjoy the next year without ortho visits! Congrats on your "surprise" baby. I hope you are doing well.
