On the eve of Jessica's birthday, I think back to her actual birth. We've all experienced the waiting to find out what is going on, the therapy, the Dr appts, the worrying. Now she is 8 and I still find that this journey doesn't end. But we sure know more now than we did then. She is a happy child a...

My daughter's hand function is the same. Loss of sensation, grasp pretty good, no finger extension. She had botox years ago because she co-contracts extensors/flexors. So we tried to botox the flexors to get more extension. You lose grasp so we haven't kept doing it. She still co-contracts. We are t...

Oh your post brings back such painful memories. My Jessica was also a forceps delivery. I was told that if she wasn't moving fingers after a few days she would require surgery at 3 months . In our case her diaphragm/breathing was also affected. Something even the nuerologist over looked. Every injur...

Sorry to hear this. We accepted a settlement because our lawyer advised us that the jury's usually side with the Dr.

Her two older sisters deliveries were not easy and both were stuck. Fortunately, no nerve damage. On the 3rd however, the Dr pulled with a va...

I live in rochester NY and Pia worked with my daughter while she was in Early intervention. My daughter is 7 now and I welcome anyone who wants to contact me regarding BPI.

<t>My daughter had C4 rupture which paralyzed the right diaphragm ( along with several other ruptures and avulsions). She required having a diaphragm placation surgery at 8 weeks old. She hasn't had breathing problems since. She runs, jumps on the tramp, swims, screams and yells along with her 2 sis...

<t>My daughter, ROBPI (age 6)has been seeing a MFR specialist for a couple of years. She has had 4 surgeries so there is quite a lot of scar tissue in the neck, shoulder and arm pit. He is trained in the John Barnes Method of Myofascial Release. He is gentle to the point where she often falls asleep...
