Re: Mayo or Dr. Nathe

<t>When our daughter was born we went from Ohio to California to Texas getting opinions. I agree that you must feel you have done everything possible to get the best care for your child. We did end up in Texas with Dr. Nath and have been very happy with him. My daughter age 9 will see him next week ...

Re: elective c-section to prevent possible injury

<t>My first baby vaginal RBPI at 37.5 weeks. She weighed 8.11. My second delivered c-section weighed in at 9.2 at 37.5 weeks. I am so happy that I had the c-section. It is a personal choice that only you can make. But if you just want feed back I would have a c-section again and again. I watch my 20...

Re: Juliana's birthday!

<t>I remember the first time I saw Juliana at Texas Children's. Gabrielle had her nerve graft surgery and I was sitting with her. My sister came running into her room and said I had to come out and see this beautiful little girl. Here she came up the hall holding her Dad's hand. She was in her post ...

Re: Scar Massge

<t>I did not use scar message on my C-Section because it was very tender for a long time. But 16 months later you can't even see it anyway. When my daughter had her nerve graft and mod quad I used baby oil gel with Vit E. Her scars look great. They are very flat and blend with her skin. Good luck. <...

Re: I have a heavy weight on my shoulders

<t>I am sitting here looking at your post trying so hard to come up with something helpful to say. And as I sit here I think of my daughter only 4 years old and her future. I don't know how old your daughter is but the fact that you are by her side always will help even if you don't feel it. I was n...

Re: Obsession

<t>I personally don't think I will ever get past my daughters delivery and what happened. However I'm not sure that I need to. Everyone has an obsession. The fact that your obsession is about your child makes you a mother, and a good one at that! Sometimes a little obsession is better than a little ...

Re: Halloween fun

<t>Gabrielle (age 4) is going to be Alice in Wonderland. I am making her poor little brother (16 months) be the white rabbit. I thought he is to young to pick a costume so we can use him as a prop. I will of course be the Queen of Hearts. I remember last year when my husband and I were beside oursel...

Awareness Project

<t>I had a bunch of frisbees made that say "Arm Yourself With Knowledge- Stop Brachial Plexus Injuries" Inside each frisbee I made a card detailing BPI and how to find out more. I took a large box of them to my daughter's school with a sign TAKE ONE -BPI AWARENESS WEEK etc. Well I was so happy when ...
