when do you or your kids start walking?
<t>Hi, we just came back from an 18 month assessment and the therapists are saying that Josiah is at a 10 month level physically and a 14 month level comprehensionally. (Is that a word?) Anyway, I was wondering if anyone who was born with this injury or whose child has the injury experienced these s...

baby walkers
<t>Hi, everyone. I haven't posted anything in quite some time. I think the last time I was here, Josiah was going to be having surgery. Well, he has has his surgery and we're about two and half months post surgery. He's getting some movement that he hadn't had before so that's very good. But, we're ...

fear of surgery
<t>Hi, everyone. I haven't written in awhile but I'm always checking in on things. So, I have some stuff I want to talk about, I guess. Josiah is now 5 1/2 months old. He can bend his elbow and he's starting to extend his fingers. His left arm is always helping his right arm out; he definitely knows...

questions for surgeons
<t>hi, everyone. I'm meeting with a potential surgeon for Josiah who is now almost five months. I was wondering if anyone had any questions that they felt were really important to ask the surgeon. I don't want to miss out on some vital information because I didn't know what to ask. Thanks, everyone,...

Re: Introductions thanks to 20/20...lurkers welcome
<t>Hi, everyone! Thanks Kathleen for moving this topic up. I was intimidated by how many posts there were but decided to see what it was all about anyway. Glad I did. You guys are so funny! You have me laughing out loud and I'm constantly turning to my husband and saying, "you gotta read this, these...

Re: anyone from Wisconsin?
<r>Gayle, you made me so happy! I guess the prospect of meeting someone to talk to is just so great. You never think you're going to be in a situation like this and when you find others in the boat with you, the ride doesn't seem so scary. Email me if you can and maybe we can try to set something up...

oxygen deprivation and obpi
<t>Hi, it's me again. So many questions, so much to find out. My son was without oxygen for about 4 to 5 minutes during delivery. He was able to start breathing again very soon and his color returned quickly. Also, he had two seizures the first night and second night after he was born, both in which...

Re: anyone from Wisconsin?
thanks everyone for info and support. Gayle, I'm in Milwaukee. Where are you in Illinois? It would be great to get together with someone if you're nearby.

anyone from Wisconsin?
<t>I was in the OBPI area and Francine suggested I come over here to see if anyone else is in or from Wisconsin. My son is 5 weeks old and has BPI in right arm. We were wondering if anyone knew of any specialists that they could recommend in the area. Or if there was any other information they could...

Re: new mom with newborn with OBPI
<t>Again, I can't say enough how happy I am to have found this site. I think I'm able to breathe just a little bit better. Josiah can move his fingers a little, he can definitely grip onto my fingers at times. Sometimes you have to press into his hand, but there's definitely strength there. Also, he...
