Re: Can't Reach to her Back

<t>I want to add further that my child's psychological health and general contentment and happiness as a person is supremely important to me. I know that in fact the mod quad surgery has very much interfered with my building and understanding of my child's happiness: My child and I have had moments ...

Re: Can't Reach to her Back

<t>I agree with Kate as well. I do have regrets that I chose for my child to have the mod quad. Largely becuase I feel that I have completely lost a sense of cause/effect or consequence in my child's development.<br/> <br/> Surgery is an intervention where muscles and tendons are CUT and TRANSFERED,...

Re: surgery not always best, botox can be harmful!

<r>I also really want to urge Katep, Tanya and others to recall the history on the Forum. I have been a registered member of this forum, granted under different names, for about three years, and much has changed in that time. We have resolved and dealt with many dilemnas. Primary vs. secondary, then...

Re: surgery not always best, botox can be harmful!

<t>I am sorry, Tanya and Katep, but it is for you to respect without critism or objection what the originating Null wrote, particularly with regard to the UPBN Policies over these Boards. <br/> <br/> I too have gone through the difficult decisions for my child -- completely by myself. In my opinion,...

Re: Had to leave their jobs?

<t>I do not want to make assumptions, but I am guessing that you are writing superifically -- not sharing all the details. I am wondering if you know that a marriage should be free from threats against you and your children. My sense is that you should seek help in your marriage and prehaps that sam...

Re: How to encourage tummy time

<t>Guest,<br/> <br/> I had not weaned, that is, slowly shifted from my milk. I stopped rather suddenly becuase my employer would not permit me to breast pump. While struggling with my employer and with trying to learn about the infant brachial plexus injury, I stopped. My child took the formula, for...

Re: How to encourage tummy time

<t>Dear John,<br/> <br/> I also sent this to your email....<br/> <br/> Dear John,<br/> <br/> I totally appreciate your concerns, I too was very intent upon that tummy time. So intent that I actually re-lactated when I understood that my brachial plexus injured infant would benefit from that contact....

Re: Double whammy

<t>Dear Kath,<br/> <br/> You need to know that I had absolutely no intention of offending you or Marieke in my responses.<br/> <br/> Actually I was feeling oddly and prehaps serendipitously illuminated as to the OBPI as I am honestly having terrible BPI problems myself. In my family, cervical spinal...

Re: Double whammy

<t>Marieke,<br/> <br/> In what you have written I think that you have opened a Pandora's Box of questions regarding pain, particularly pain experienced by our infants. My precise question is that as an adult I am experiencing a degenerative pressure on my nerves from my bones, but when the infant is...
