I've heard lots of people talk about using botox. I was wondering if someone could explain to me how that helps this injury. I thought botox paralyzed muscles...so how does it help? I would love an explaination...thanks!

Julie...are you out there?

Congrats. Glad the baby is ok, but sorry it was so rough on you!

<t>I emailed you. Welcome to the club no one wants to be in! I agree with Ken! The explaination you got was either ignorant or deceptive! I tend to think deceptive.

<t>I will say that ANY sign of movement is a "good sign" but what the end result will be is an unknown. Unfortunately there is no definite answer for your question. It is a difficult wait and see time, unless it is determined that your son needs surgery, which can only be determined by a qualified d...

I just wanted to point out that Femke didn't bend her arm until 3 months old...so much for time limits....
