<t>My daughter is still in her cast (same as your son will have). She had surgery on the 18th of December. I fixed a couple of shirts with velcro on the side for her before surgery. However, she is small at 4 years old and thin too. She has been able to wear a lot of her regular clothes. We just put...

<t>Our daughter did great. She hasn't let the cast slow her down at all. My husband handled the flight and hospital stay just fine. The worst thing that happened is they were delayed getting home because of airline/weather issues. The had to spend the night in Cincinnati.<br/> <br/> We'll be going b...

I didn't write very clear. They will be flying home the day after the surgery and the flight is about 3.5 hours total.

<r>My 4 year old daughter is having surgery on the 18th. Dr Kozin will do tendon transfer. She has damage at C5 and C6.<br/> <br/> My husband is taking her for the surgery.

Thanks,

Thanks

<t>I just recently found this forum. I have been using the search feature trying to learn about doctors and treatments.<br/> <br/> I am sure there are people like me reading and trying to learn. We have an adopted daughter with BPI. I mention that she is adopted because we don't have medical informa...

Thank you for responding mamaoftwo. Does doctor Borchel have many erb's palsy patients? What I have run into here is that the orthopedic doctors haven't seen but 2 or 3 patients in their career. I much prefer a doctor that has seen many patients with this condition.

<t>We live in the north part of Alabama. We have a daughter that will be 4 in June. She has not had any type of surgery for her injury. We adopted our daughter from an Asian country at 27 months. So she did not have early medical care for her condition. <br/> <br/> We have seen two orthopedics and d...
