Re: Handwriting for affected arm

I am so glad that you added in. You know, I think we can all get caught up in what others think or might think, or do or don't do, and sometimes we need reminded that we all have miracles that will make their own way to the stars!

Re: Handwriting for affected arm

<t>My daughter has LBPI, and is very left dominant, she is only 2 1/2, but we have encouraged her to use her left hand all she wants.

Need help with TES machine

<t>We just purchased a TES machine for our daughter Julia, and we have been using it for the past three and a half weeks. We have had a lot of trouble keeping it working all night. She is a very restless sleeper, and I'm guessing that something comes unhooked during the night. I wrap Coban around he...

Benefit

<t>Our insurance denied payment of the TES machine our doctor prescribed for our daughter, so, our local Fraternal of Eagles is having a benefit in her honor. We also get the opportunity to have the front page of our local paper, which is a big deal for us. We live in a very small town, and finding ...
