Femke videostory at age 2

Post by johnstrike »

Last year I posted a video that shows the healing process of my daughter's Erbs Palsy. It is one year later now and today she turned 2. I thought maybe some of you might be interested to see her recovery at age 2. I posted a new video at youtube: http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=iGMPuRKCmDc

To avoid a discussion I would like to emphasis that this is by no means a statement against surgery.

Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: LOBPI. I am 77 yrs old and never had a name for my injuries until 2004 when I found UBPN at age 66.

My injuries are: LOBPI on upper body and Cerebrael Palsy on the lower left extremities. The only intervention I've had is a tendon transplant from my left leg to my left foot to enable flexing t age 24 in 1962. Before that, my foot would freeze without notice on the side when wearing heels AND I always did wear them at work "to fit in" I also stuttered until around age 18-19...just outgrew it...no therapy for it. Also suffered from very very low self esteem; severe Depression and Anxiety attacks started at menopause. I stuffed emotions and over-compensated in every thing I did to "fit in" and be "invisible". My injuries were Never addressed or talked about until age 66. I am a late bloomer!!!!!

I welcome any and all questions about "My Journey".
There is NO SUCH THING AS A DUMB QUESTION.

Happy Birthday, Femke!

It takes my computer an incredibly long time to download videos, but it was worth it! She's beautiful. May she grow from strength to strength.

john, that is a beautiful movie - thank you so much for updating it and posting it. I loved watching every minute of it.

I have a technical question for you and actually I posted on youtube but didn't hear back from you....

what format of video did you use to be able to have such a high quality video of that length and keep it under 100 mb? I do a lot of video clips of Maia but I lose so much quality when I convert it and compress it. Right now I compress to an MP4 file.... you can see my videos if you search for FranLitz over at youtube... can you please give me some pointers? franlitz@gmail.com

Thanks so much and give kissies to Femke - what a sweetypie!

I tape my movies on a low end JVC digital camera. I transfer the video's by firewire connection to my PC. Then I compile a movie in Windows Movie Maker (free under Windows XP). Last I save to movie to my PC in a format that give about 50 Meg. This time I used "Video for Lan (1.0 Mbs)". But I also use some other formats.

Hopes this helps you.
