Hello Dr Ramachandran
Just a quick email to say that Sam Blakemore is healing very well indeed after his recent op. We can't even find a scar!
A big thanks to you and your team and we'll see you in January for his follow up.

Hi Manoj
I hope you and your family are well? I just wanted to say a big thank you
again for what you have done for Luke!
I just came across this old mail where we had posed many worries about his
knee surgery and you replied and completely gave us confidence! Sorry we
were such a pain but it is always hard when a surgery is coming up for your
child and you start to question whether you're doing the right thing.
Thanks you so much for your kindness and patience.
You'll be pleased to hear that Luke is walking completely unaided now,
hasn't used the walker for a couple of months. He is dancing, spinning
around, bending his knees and trying to run, bless him. He still falls a bit
but is generally really steady and growing more confident every day. It's
so amazing to see him wandering about on his own, it freaked us out at first
but he's all over the place now and very happy with his new-found freedom.
He's started at school nursery too and is settled and supported.
I feel that we have all come through the hardest part, the first 2 years
were really stressful and we are very thankful to you and Di for always
giving us reassurance and confidence that you knew what was best for Luke, I
know we have been very fortunate in our experience compared to what others
have been through.
Hope you have a lovely weekend and thanks again from all of us for
everything you've done.
Best wishes
Colette and Torquil (and Luke!)

Hello Manoj
It's Richard Alleyne....
Sorry for not contacting you before things have been a bit crazy since I returned to athletics!
Things are going really well at the moment, I am currently ranked 4th in the country and not far from qualifying for the Olympic Games.
My hip is perfect, I'm not having any issues with it all, my rehab was good and I am hurdleing without discomfort, you really have helped me with my dreams and for that I am truly grateful.
The film is due for release in some cinemas around London on the 25th of May. When I get the list I will forward it to you.
Best wishes

Hi Di and Dr Ramachandran,
I hope you remember my husband Jason & I. You both treated our son Jack Lawrance just after he was born in June 2007.
Jack is now 3 ½ and he has a little sister Grace who is 10 months old. Grace was not born with Talipes or any other foot problems, and we are also expecting our third child but have yet to have our 20w scan to determine if there is anything out of the ordinary.
Over the last month or two, Jack has been featured in a Magazine article and has appeared on 2 current affairs TV shows here in Australia. The article is attached if you’d like to read it (sorry it’s upsidedown), but only the most recent TV show is available to view online at this link…

I hope you are able to view it and see how far Jack has come over the last 3 years. He truly is a remarkable little boy and nothing is holding him back, all thanks to the fantastic treatment he received from you both in London.
Even though he has Moebius Syndrome and has trouble saying some words, he is a non-stop chatterbox and loves being outside running, kicking the ball, playing on his bike, swimming, and watching Jason play baseball. He is being cared for very well by various specialists here in Australia, but we will never forget everything you did for us and correcting Jacks feet so he can walk and run so well.
Thank you.
Regards,
Linda Lawrance C.A

Hi Manoj
Hope you are well?
We just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you so much for all your amazing input with Luke. We feel very fortunate to have been under the care of you and your team.
The difference in Luke in the past two years has been completely transforming and we are very grateful for all your knowledge, wisdom and encouragement. I know he still has a long way to go but we are very hopeful about his future, he is so bright, determined and happy that we know he’ll go far in life.
His knee looks great, it’s so good to finally see it bending in the right direction and the scar is so small, we are amazed and very thankful.
Please send our thanks and best wishes to Di and the team – we’ll see you next year.
Have a lovely Christmas.
Warm wishes
Colette and Torquil (and Luke, of course!)
