Vanderbilt

Does anyone see the BP doctors at Vanderbilt Children's in Nashville? What are your experiences and thoughts? Any information appreciated. I don't know anyone who has been to their clinic and our insurance is making our son be evaluated by them prior to letting us see his out of state specialist. I'...

Re: Opportunity is knocking!

My son Nicholas has a LOBPI. Unfortunately, he is in a small percentage of children whose surgeries did not help his injury. His left arm still has no muscle tone and hangs flacid.

Re: oh the anxiety!!!!

I understand your feelings completely. I thought once things were settled life would kind of pick up and move on. I have actually realized that the problems are still there.
