I always thought the powers that be in the U.S. got the name wrong – Labor Day. Since it’s a Holiday intended to be just that, a Holiday – I would think the proper name would be Relax Day or Lazy Day or Off Day or Sleep-in Day, something other than Labor Day. Unfortunately, most celebrate Labor Day by doing just that – Laboring. Government employees and Bank’s typically close up shop on Labor Day, but according to recent studies the majority of Americans are laboring on Labor Day. So to celebrate the month of September and the affection for Laboring, I have a special announcement to make: I will be Laboring, but for a very special reason. Right now, many would-be homeowners and home sellers are caught in a catch 22. They are nervous about moving or the opposite, desperate to make a move. This is why we have developed a special program for those you know that are considering a move.
Just like the weather seasons come and seasons go, so do the seasons of life. I’m sure you have noticed, as I have, the older I get the faster the seasons move by. These “seasons of life” go by so fast, my hope is that you enjoy each one or at least grow from each one. Yes. Some of life’s seasons will be HOT and others will be COLD, some high and some low. The lows we want to move by quickly, the highs we want to stay in forever sometimes. #coreychambers
For the month of September, if you or anyone you know is considering making a move to a new home, we will Guarantee a minimum $10,000 Savings for every $200,000 in sales price on the home purchase or I will pay the difference*.You read it correctly – my labor saves you and those you know considering making a move a nice chunk of change. The reason why I can make such a special offer is simply because our long track record of selling homes and specialized knowledge allows us to negotiate the best deal on the best home for our best clients. #realestate #newsletter

Why I Support Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles
I grew up right here in Los Angeles. Born right nearby at St. Francis Hospital. I remember when I first heard about a young person close to our family suffering from a nasty disease and getting treated for that at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. It was then that I began to pay closer attention to the work they do at that hospital. Since then, I have learned that it is a collection of hard-working health care professionals, most making their home right here in the Los Angeles area, all coming together for a common cause. That cause is to help young people overcome unfortunate health issues that life sometimes throws our way. Being a Los Angeles area, California native, I take pride in supporting in any way that I can the good work these people do at Children’s. My team rallies around our annual goal of raising money and donating portions of our income to help Children’s in their quest to heal young people when they need healing. My team and I are committed to providing outstanding results for buyers and sellers referred to us by our past clients. I have discovered that Children’s Hospital Los Angeles shares similar commitments to their patients. And since their services survive on sponsorships and donations we are happy to contribute and proud to support them.
Sincerely,

Below is the story of a patient who’s life was turned around by Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Take a brief moment to consider what it must have been like to walk a mile in her shoes.
“The goal … is to get a foot that’s flat, that’s flexible, and you’re able to wear normal shoes without any pain.”

Two-year-old Merci, the first patient to be treated at CHLA’s clubfoot clinic
Those of you who like the symmetry of things will enjoy hearing that one of the founders of the Clubfoot Clinic at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles was born with the disorder, a birth defect that causes the foot to twist inward and go stiff.
“Like this,” Melissa Bent, MD, says, calling up an image on her laptop that shows the soles of a patient’s little feet turned to such a degree that they’re facing each other.
But as for her career path, Dr. Bent would say her own experience with clubfoot is more coincidental than causal. Destiny didn’t intervene. A mid-20th-century Spanish physician did.
While undertaking a year-long fellowship in clubfoot management, Dr. Bent was introduced to the Ponseti method, a strategy for treating the condition that has transformed outcomes for clubfoot patients. She is only two degrees of separation from the method’s namesake, orthopedist Ignacio Ponseti, who developed the technique in the 1950s years after leaving his native Spain and arriving at the University of Iowa. That same institution is where Dr. Bent completed a second fellowship under Jose Morcuende, MD, who took over Ponseti’s practice after the doctor passed away a decade ago.
Boiled down, the Ponseti method is a meticulous sequence of stretching, manipulating, casting and bracing begun a couple of weeks after birth. Stretching loosens and elongates the stiffened, abnormally short ligaments in the foot that have created the deformity; recasting the foot each week holds the progress made in place; and braces make it so that, once flattened out, the feet don’t revert to their original shape.
Merci had such severe clubfeet, they looked like flippers, her mother says.
In between the casting and bracing phases, most patients require an Achilles tenotomy, a procedure wherein the Achilles tendon, thick and resistant to manipulation, is cut to allow it to regrow to a longer length and provide the ankle with the proper range of motion.
If the course of stretching and casting doesn’t straighten the foot, there are surgical routes to try, but according to Dr. Bent, the Ponseti method has 95% success at achieving a correction.
“We always caution that clubfoot is not a normal foot, so you can’t say the foot is now normal,” she says. “But the goal, as Dr. Ponseti stated, is to get a foot that’s flat, that’s flexible, and you’re able to wear normal shoes without any pain.”
A unique partnership
Born in Jamaica, Dr. Bent didn’t have the benefit of receiving the Ponseti method; it hadn’t yet become the prevailing standard of care. Prior to Ponseti, many doctors would perform major surgeries on a clubfoot and leave the baby with another deformity, or as in Dr. Bent’s case, an overcorrected foot. She has since had multiple procedures to try to address it.
“It is straight, but stiff,” she says. “That’s why it’s painful. I’m active, but I don’t do a lot of running because I physically can’t.”
Dr. Bent’s partner in clubfoot treatment is CHLA orthopaedic surgeon Rachel Goldstein, MD, who also has had specialized clubfoot training. Dr. Bent does the casting and bracing, while Dr. Goldstein performs the heel-cord surgery and any other procedure that might be necessary.
The Ponseti method includes a period of weekly castings to keep the foot from turning back inward.
“It’s a unique partnership,” Dr. Bent says. “Not many clinics in the country have both surgical and nonsurgical aspects for managing care of clubfoot.”
Over the 2 ½ years since they began the clinic, Dr. Bent estimates the two have seen about 30 to 40 clubfoot babies. It was their expertise in the Ponseti method that brought them their very first patient, a newborn named Merci (pronounced the French way).
Merci’s mother, Tanya, had become familiar with clubfeet through working for Clark Shoes, which during the time it manufactured kids’ shoes used to donate money to MiracleFeet, a charity that supports clubfoot clinics in poorer countries. Part of the funds went toward training health care practitioners in the Ponseti method.
When Merci was born in August 2017 with clubfeet, Tanya and her husband, Greg, read up on the Ponseti method and found that CHLA applied it. That was the closer. “We said, ‘That’s where we’re going,’” Tanya says.
Once they met Dr. Bent and learned of her own personal history with the condition, they were delighted with their decision. “We were sold on her from the minute she walked in and shared with us her story.”
Bracing for the future
Merci, now 2, is on course for the optimal outcome, which would have her out of braces and finished with treatment at age 4 if the feet keep their corrected position.
With clubfoot care, however, there is one caution: the considerable potential for relapse—the foot turning back inward—because the bracing phase overlaps a time, ages 2-4, when a child’s foot is growing rapidly. If that happens, the process must be restarted with weekly foot manipulation and casting.
Tanya is determined to avoid any setbacks. The family has been diligent about adhering to the treatment plan, which now has Merci wearing her braces—or her “boots and bar,” as the family refers to the hardware—only in the evenings.
Greg and Tanya (holding Merci) with their three kids
“Unless she is sick and she cannot have socks on because she has a fever or whatnot, she’s in her boots and bar every night,” Tanya says. “When she’s out of them at 4, we want everything done. I don’t want a 6-year-old back in the casting process.”
On the clubfoot spectrum, Merci’s case started out toward the extreme. “When we first brought her home,” Tanya says, “her feet tucked under her butt, kind of like a little frog. They didn’t even look normal. They almost looked like little flippers. It was really unusual. It was scary.”
With Dr. Bent’s weekly kneading of Merci’s feet to unlock her ligaments, the feet began to steadily straighten. “You could see the progress after every cast. It was like, holy moly! She struggled with crawling, she was delayed in her walking, but now that she’s hit those milestones, oh my gosh—she doesn’t just walk, she sprints everywhere. Does she run a little bit different? Yes.”
That’s a result of underdeveloped lower legs that are a lot thinner than her quads, a natural effect of the condition. Tanya says she’s considering gymnastics and physical therapy as remedies.
It’s uncommon for a relapse of clubfoot to occur after age 5, Dr. Bent says, but it can happen, so just to stay ahead of any regression, she will follow Merci until she is at least 8 to 10 years old.
But that’s what brought her here. She pursued orthopaedics, and in particular clubfoot care, because she wanted to witness the results of her work and to see its long-term impact. She has her own phrase for the opportunity to genuinely sculpt a child a better future.
“You get to really see with your hands,’” she says, “and use your hands to make a difference in a very young kid’s life.”
My Child Has What?
Clubfoot, at a glance
What is it? A congenital birth defect in which abnormally short, tight ligaments surrounding the ankle cause a baby’s foot to turn inward. It can strike one foot or both.
What’s the incidence? 1 in 1,000 births in the U.S.
What causes it? Unknown. It runs in families, but no clubfoot gene has been identified. The disorder can exist alone in an otherwise healthy baby or can be one of a series of issues connected to a neuromuscular condition.
How is it treated? The most successful, widespread treatment is the Ponseti method, consisting of a series of stretching, casting, Achilles tenotomy, and braces.
What’s the prognosis? In better than 9 of 10 cases, the Ponseti method has a successful outcome, defined as a flat, straight and flexible foot that causes no pain. If untreated, the foot will remain deformed and walking will be severely impaired.
Famous athletes born with clubfoot: Freddy Sanchez, former professional baseball player; gold medal-winning figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi; retired soccer superstar Mia Hamm; NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman

The Giving It Back and Paying It Forward REAL ESTATE NEWSLETTER | August 2020
This year is not so hot.
You don’t have to be a weather person to predict the weather this time of year. We all know… it’s the hottest time of the year. But the weather is the only thing that’s hot. The economy is not. While last year was, by some measures, the best economy in 20 years or so, this year is the opposite. It’s the Greater Depression of 2020. This feels BAD for most reading this, as the average urban home sold for $48,500 less in June, compared to the previous June. That can be good news for some. For example, someone will sell a house for less than expected, meaning a buyer pays a bit less than they would have not too long ago. And in some areas, the opposite happens. Seller does not make out that great, but the buyer does. Most homeowners who do NOT have to sell of course know this and will hold back on buying or selling. That will, of course, impact supply and demand. Results right now?
New Opportunities!

Macey and Mackenzie—once conjoined twins, now 17 years old
They made national news when separated as babies, but now these once-conjoined twins live normal lives in the Midwest. | By Michael Y. Park
Life on a hobby farm in the suburban outskirts of Des Moines, Iowa, for 17-year-old triplets Madeline, Mackenzie and Macey is pretty much like an extra helping of Americana with a healthy side of sweet corn and a milkshake filled to the brim. Their days are filled with schoolwork, planning for college and afterschool activities and jobs. Madeline runs track and is in show choir. Mackenzie has found her calling via Future Farmers of America. And Macey spends every spare hour she can working the counter at the Dairy Queen with her best friend.
“I take the orders because nobody likes to take orders, because if we’re busy you’re the person who has to deal with people. So I’ll take the people’s money and hand out their Blizzards, and Liberty makes the ice cream,” says Macey.
Naturally, there are chores—this is the Midwest and a farm, after all, and there are animals to tend to. (Madeline’s in charge of the trash, too.)
“We have two dogs, three cats and, like, 10 horses,” Macey says.
“My pony is Nancy—Midnight Nancy—and Macey’s horse is Smoke and Madeline’s is Lulu,” Mackenzie adds, going into more detail. “Nancy had a pig disease when we found her, and my mom has a thing where if she sees a sick animal she can’t leave it alone.”
And, of course, there’s the hanging out with the friends and going out for rides in cars in a small Midwestern town.
“We either drive around or watch movies, or we usually go eat together, because it’s the only thing to do in town,” Macey says.
“My driveway looks like a used car lot,” the girls’ mother, Darla, says, laughing and noting that each of her daughters has her own car and hectic schedule. “There are five automobiles at any given time.”
All in all, it’s a life that many American teenagers would recognize and understand immediately—except when strangers come up to them in public and begin peppering them with questions they’ve had to answer their entire lives. “I don’t really like to be known as the girl that was conjoined to her sister,” Macey said. “At school, we want everybody to know us as normal kids.”
America’s miracle babies
Mackenzie and Macey made national news as infants. Though they and Madeline were born as triplets, Mackenzie and Macey were conjoined, sharing a pelvis and a third leg—a set of circumstances that is incredibly rare. In September 2003, the pair were separated at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles in a bogglingly complex, 24-hour surgery that required an army of specialists and support staff and that followed intense planning at seemingly endless levels.
Mackenzie and Macey made national news as infants. Though they and Madeline were born as triplets, Mackenzie and Macey were conjoined, sharing a pelvis and a third leg—a set of circumstances that is incredibly rare. In September 2003, the pair were separated at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles in a bogglingly complex, 24-hour surgery that required an army of specialists and support staff and that followed intense planning at seemingly endless levels.
“It was in the vicinity of 100 people once you count the various shifts of nurses, radiology technicians, surgeons—just for the O.R. portion—and then the countless other people involved in post-op,” says James Stein, Chief Medical Officer at CHLA, and Ford Theodore Miller Murphy Chair of Surgical Oncology. He was the lead doctor on the babies’ separation surgery.
They needed so many of the CHLA staff because the decision to separate Mackenzie and Macey affected seemingly almost every aspect of the tiny children’s bodies.
“It was making sure we could safely separate the liver and the intestine where it joined together and separate the pelvis and still get the pelvis closed into a ring and then close the abdominal wall,” Dr. Stein says. “Because they shared a lot of skin and muscle, we had to get that closed as well. From the anesthesia standpoint, there was the whole piece of having two babies asleep at the same time and then in separate rooms for a period of 24 hours, and then beyond that, it came down to the post-op care and taking care of them in the neonatal ICU, and rehab getting them ready to head home.”
Darla, who had just adopted the triplets at that point, remembered the constant shuttling back and forth to the hospital from what was then their home in Riverside, California.
“It was a lot of driving to L.A.,” she says. “A lot of paperwork. But on the day of the surgery, I would say there was just a sense of peace. I was never worried. I just had a sense that everything would be OK because I had immense confidence in the team. They were just above and beyond to make sure everything was in order and safe, and that gave us a lot of comfort.”
Dr. Stein credited the deep bench CHLA fielded as a reason why everything from planning to post-op went so smoothly. “On so many levels, it’s something a major children’s hospital is able to pull off, and I think we were uniquely positioned with the expertise in the various subspecialties—general pediatrics, neurology, orthopaedics, plastic surgery—to be able to take care of this,” says Dr. Stein. “Even leading up to it, our radiologist had to come up with ways for the types of visualization we needed to make those critical decisions we needed to plan for the surgery. We had a core of nurses who were so dedicated to figuring out how this could work. It really covered this whole organization.”
Neither Macey nor Mackenzie remember anything about the surgery, but Madeline said she still has fuzzy memories of visiting her sisters before and after at CHLA.
“I remember a scary elevator with doors that opened both ways,” she said. “I remember Dr. Stein a lot. He was just a super nice guy and always really fun to interact with him and be around him.”
Lasting memories, inspiration and psychic powers
But though their memories of CHLA are vague at best, the triplets, now juniors in high school, credit the hospital and the people who took care of them for giving them inspiration for what to do with their own lives. Mackenzie intends to become a lawyer who fights on behalf of farmers. Madeline wants to become a nurse anesthesiologist. And Macey, who had a longer post-operation recovery than Mackenzie, is going to be an ultrasound technician.

And Macey, who had a longer post-operation recovery than Mackenzie, is going to be an ultrasound technician.
“I was sick for a while and had to have all my ultrasounds done a lot, and I found it fascinating how they figured out what was wrong with people,” Macey said.
Back in Los Angeles, Dr. Stein said the family left a lasting impact on CHLA, too.
“We continue to talk about this story as a big event for us in that it really elevated us and, internally, our ability to work together and take on the most complex problems,” he says. “One of the really enjoyable parts of being at a place like Children’s Hospital is being able to take in the most complex cases out there and have both the personnel and infrastructure, as well as the approach to teamwork to make that all successful.”
There are still lingering issues, of course. Mackenzie just had surgery to treat worsening scoliosis. And both use crutches again, shedding the prosthetic legs that they used to wear when they were younger. Because standard prosthetic legs hang some of the weight on the hipbone, the girls, with their reconstructed pelvises, had to instead resort to using bulkier, less mobile devices that weighed 25 pounds.
And then there are the questions.
“I’m glad it’s not an every month thing where people come up and say, ‘Hey, I want to know what’s going on with you,’ because it’d be boring,” Macey says.
“I’d rather have people ask questions than stare,” says Mackenzie. “I don’t mind people asking questions.” She’d probably rather talk about her new position as an officer with Future Farmers of America, though.
“We’ve been told time and again that we’re really good at explaining it, especially to little children,” Madeline said. “I tutor first graders, and we brought Mackenzie in once and explained what happened and what the surgery was. One asked her, ‘Can you read your sister’s mind?’ We explained that they were stuck together at the pelvis and showed them were the bone was, and no, they can’t read each other’s minds—” Madeline couldn’t help but chuckle. “—though sometimes we do consider telling them that they can,” she admitted. “But we don’t want them to be confused.”
But beyond the occasional surgery—and the maybe annual check-in from a newspaper or magazine—these girls are your normal, everyday teenagers.

“They’re just texting and Facebooking and whatever, hanging out with their friends,” Darla said. “They’re just normal kids. It’s normal life for us. I know sometimes people say, “Oh, that’s so amazing, I couldn’t do that. But you know what? You could do it. The girls are well-rounded, and they make it really easy to parent them.”
