Re: Questions about TCH

It is always wonderful when people share their good news.

There is always hope and there is no one we would trust more than TCH.

Re: Article

<t>I was told my son's Erbs Palsy was caused in utero by our doctor. Imagine a mom who had previously delivered a larger child delivering a preemie baby who weighed less than the previous child trying to understand why the smaller child was injured but the larger one not?<br/> <br/> Should I add tha...

Re: Every BPI household should have this.....

We do not have a shower door but many of the things suggested can be done on the shower enclosure of the bath tub. Also if you have a fabric shower curtain and liner - sew or fuse pockets onto the fabric shower curtain and place tub toys in the pockets that kids can reach to get...

Re: need help with primary scar

Re: Hi Everyone

<t>Our insurence company keeps refusing to pay for our son's therapy but fortunately because he has not turned five yet the state pays anything our insurence company does not cover.

We looked into Shriners and found that they do orthapedics and that basically means they do muscle transfers after the arm has shriveled into a prune. Why wait that long??? We chose Texas based on experience. Four ...
