As my daughter started hitting her growth spurt, I did notice her arm and shoulder tightening. I was concerned about her shoulder stability and formation. I took her for two evaluations, with two different Doctors. They both said that as growth spurts happens, so does a natural tighting of the muscl...

<t>You know what's best for your child and you should follow your gut instinct. I am sure your mother's intentions are good, but she is not in your shoes. I went through a similar experience when my daughter was very small. I couldn't help myself to remind anyone that picked her up to "be careful of...

<t>Thank you all for your responses. The info on the harness is great, I am going to look further into it. I'm not sure that one in particular is right for Emily, but possibly a variation. Also, I am going to contact the group in Fl. Emily is kneeboarding (hydroslide) and we do use the handle hook, ...

<t>Hi All, it's been a while since I have been active on this board, a few may remember us. I am Julie and my daughter is Emily, from CA. Emily is now 8 years old and doing great and is very active. I am wondering if any of the older kids are active in water sports, such as wakeboarding, kneeboardin...

<t>It was told to us that going after pain and suffering can make you look greedy, therefore, making it harder to win a case for your child. Of course, that's not our motivation, but the Dr.'s Attorney will use anything possible. We were able to submit out of pocket bills for therapy and surgeries a...

He is in Southern CA and has a lot of experience in BPI cases. His web address is personalinjurylawusa.com I am not trying to promote...

<t>One thing we used, still use is the ab wheel. It's the wheel with handle bars on the sides. Kids use it in a crawling motion. My daughter was not able to crawl, due to the lack of strength in her arm, but the wheel worked great. She would have a ball rolling it aroung the house. You can also play...

<t>Hi Pam, <br/> Yes I remember you and Ashley. It's been a while (years) since I have posted or been involved. Your posting has come at the perfect time for me. My daughter Emily, is 7 1/2 now and in 1st grade. We are experiencing school sports and organized sports and she wants to do it all. Softb...

<t>Patty hit the nail on the head. Before mine, I had started to panick and worry, not ever going through anything like this before. But then I realized I had nothing to worry about, all there is - is the truth. I think the key for me was to stay focussed and not let the opposing attorney try to mix...

I just heard that the mother had been picked up and the baby is being returned home. Please keep this family in your thoughts & prayers.
