Re: What would you have said?
<t>I don't have BPI, so I don't know how one might respond if asked, but I work at a fast food restaraunt and one of our regulars has an arm injury. I finally asked her about it. I tried to be very polite. She kind of looked at me odd, then laughed. Turns out she doesn't have a BPI, but we do have a...

She's ok
<t>I have some incredible news. First I want to say that I know I'm not able to get on the internet and get updates on everything, but I do try. And I'll continue, even after this...<br/> My baby's ok. She's four months old. We went to her therapist on Monday and another therapist saw her and said, ...

Parent Advocacy
<t>I work at a fast food restaurant in Charlotte, NC. I recently spoke with the Area Director about putting UBPN donation forms on the front counter. I happened to have perfect timing, because the president of the company showed up the next day. He asked to borrow one of the Outreach magazines (I al...

Lawyers
<r>I've gone to a few sites for lawyers and sent my information about my daughter, to see what can be done. I've gotten a few calls, but I wanted to mention one in particular. I kind of got a kick out of it, actually, because of what I told him. He asked if she was movig her fingers, wrist, elbow, e...

Re: Newcomer
<t>Wow. What else can I say but wow. Everyone has so quickly reached out with a helping and kind hand. All the advice and kind words mean so much to me. I can't even begin to fathom what it must be like to have these injuries all your life and find it's not as rare as you thought it to be...you must...

Re: Newcomer
<t>Yes! That's the specialist! She has been my guide through all of this, though I am slightly disappointed. She never mentioned hand-to-mouth. I just read it on the injured newborn website. Already in the few hours I have been reading, I have gone from horrified and terrified to mostly relieved. My...

Re: Newcomer
<t>Thank you so much for replying. I'm on the verge of tears for your thoughtfulness and kind words. I'm living in Charlotte, NC. Originally from Iowa. Ambrosia seems to be doing incredibly well and I seem to spend all my time praying for her. I welcome any and all advice. Like I said before, I hadn...

Newcomer
<t>I am a newcomer to this site. Actually, a newcomer to this entire thing. I only just found out a few minutes ago the irony of my situation. My second daughter was born on October 21st this year. I find it almost sadistically ironic that she has Brachial Plexus Palsy and was born during Awareness ...
