Re: HERRRRO!!

Hi Ryan, I wanted to clarify that my daughter is 2 and has a right obstetrical brachial plexus injury (robpi). Her injury is considered a "global" injury which means she has damage to all 5 of the nerves located within her brachial plexus. Ryan, when were you injured?

Re: Matthew's palm was blue this morning

Cindy, was he wearing his splint last night when this happened? How scarey and strange. Did he complain about his hand to your mom in the morning too or was it just a change of appearance that made her notice the hand? Good luck and let us know what Dr. Kozin thinks too.

The eye doctor said this was normal for her given her injury and expected it to take around a week to return to normal. By t...
