Re: Pain years after Surgery?
My daughter Katie, also 10, just recently started having pain in her Erb's arm. Thanks for the info you posted. Not sure I'm ready to jump back into this as we have very fortunate with very little problems post surgery. Katie stopped therapy when she was 6 and began "natural therapy". She ...

Long time no see......
Hi All...... I haven't been on these boards in ages and hope this post finds all doing well. May daughter, Katie, now 10 has a LOBPI. I am pleased to report that she has been doing fairly well, until recently. She is a very active child and is very involved in All*Star cheerleading, where she is a f...

Tired
<r>Haven't you ever just wanted to quit? I find myself, recently, just tired of it all. Tired of the running to doctors and therapist, tired of fighting for benefits and support, tired of excercises, tired of thinking about this injury, tired of trying to figure out how to convince a 5 year old girl...

Re: Joseph's birthday
<r>Hi Breonna;<br/> My daughter Katie is 5 with a left brachial plexus injury (erb's palsy). It is probably harder than it sounds, but my rule has always been that birthdays are a time to celebrate my child. For that time I always put aside the reality of the day (for me, on the day she was born the...

Off Topic -- Think of us!
<t>Happy Sunday Everyone!<br/> <br/> Katie leaves today to visit with her Daddy for a whole week, which to me feels like a lifetime. So far, I'm handling it pretty well (last year I was a basket case)but this is always tough on me. Please keep Katie in your thoughts and prayers as well as those of u...

Re: Boo boo on affected arm
<t>Gayle;<br/> <br/> Thanks for the tips! I just might have to try that. It's not been so exceedingly hot that she couldn't tolerate pants and long shirt. We'll have to try it. <br/> <br/> It just seems she has gotten so clumsy all of the sudden. I mean, she must fall at least 2 times a day, even wh...

Re: Boo boo on affected arm
<t>Thanks for the input, Ladies! I'm often afraid that I am over-reacting when it comes to her injured arm, so it's good to know that it's not my imagination running away with me. My mom-in-law thinks it just because of the where the cut is, but I disagree. <br/> <br/> I don't have a TES unit, but i...

Boo boo on affected arm
<t>Hi Everyone;<br/> <br/> On Sunday, Katie fell down in our driveway and got a cut on her left hand (affected arm). It seems to bother her more than other "boo boos" and doesn't seem to be healing like other cuts would. I have been treating it with triple antibiotic oinment and trying to keep a ban...
