They have been working with him physical therapy, not sending him anywhere and I not pushing it as there is so much going on with him as it is. However, he is now almost 8 months (fou...

Re: When there is no specialist in the area
<r>Hi Dawn, <br/> I posted on CAPPS to you, but that was before I read the post here. When the neuro told me about Jaxson and what had happened I had NO clue what it even was. So, I asked him and he basically just said the nerves in the shoulder area were damaged, probably some slight tears in the n...

When there is no specialist in the area
<t>Hello, <br/> I posted here for the first time just this week but need to know something else. <br/> I only just found out that Jaxson's injury at birth is called a Brachial Plexus. Nobody said a word to me until the neurologist saw him last week. He didn't tell me what to do for it, just continue...

Re: New to BP
<t>Jaxson has been in his CranioCap since December 4th. We have had no estimate on the time he has left as he has severe plagio. He's a trooper though and doing just fine with it - I have seen some pretty good improvement, much with the bossing of his forhead. <br/> Torticollis may be associated wit...

Re: Taping ???
<t>Hello - <br/> I saw the post and thought I would chime in about it. I am new to this board, so forgive me if you were asking someone else. <br/> My son, Jaxson, is 6.5 months old and we have been using the Kinesio tape for the past 3 weeks. It is going very well for him. The OT and PT used the ta...

Re: New to BP
<t>Angie, <br/> My son is 6.5 months old and has been in PT since he was 2 months due to the torticollis. I am seeing the OT today and will ask her about the difference, if any, in the therapy he will need. I will go check to see if there are any Brachial Plexus specialist around here, I live in a s...

New to BP
<t>Hello - <br/> I have not posted here before and only learned on Friday that what was wrong with my son since birth was a Brachial Plexus injury. My son, Jaxson, was 3 weeks early and a large 9 lbs 15oz. The OB used a vacuum to help deliver him as he was stuck at the shoulders. When he was out, he...
