You have a list of hospitals and doctors at <URL url="http://ubpn.org/weblinks/">http://ubpn.org/weblinks/</URL><br/> I think in some cases you can send a videotape of your child t...

Re: Therapy

<t>Thanks for your suggestions. I'll use them. You know, I printed these drawings (2 per page) in hard paper, filed them in plastic sleeves and in a "dossier". Most of the times I do the exercises (sometimes we do them by heart, when we're in a hurry) with the dossier near me, so I remember all the ...

Re: Nerve transfer results

<t>As Teresa and Karen very easily understood what I'm looking for is to try and understand if my son will ever have bicep function or how many years that can take. In my country there are no sketches or parents beeing told which nerves were injured. Doctors just give you a slight idea of the proced...

When he's older he might regret not having done surgery. I understand it may be a difficult decision but that's why there are specialists. Perhap...
