Re: Dr. Waters
Hi there! My daughter also sees Dr. Waters, and before her surgery, he had told us that he had just performed surgery for a 21 year old...so I think he sees all ages. I hope this helps :^)

Re: After muscle tendon transfer...
<r>Hi Carolyn! It really and truly was one of the happiest moments in mine and my husband's lives! To see her do something that we never thought she would be able to do is amazing...we still have a long road to go, but I know that if we work together we can make it better, and she has been such a bi...

Re: After muscle tendon transfer...
Hi Amy!
Thanks for the great suggestion I really hope that she has great improvement and does not require another surgery....Juliana also has a ROBPI...how are you doing? Have you had any surgery yourself?

Re: bpi in Utero?
<r>Hi Evee! I am so sorry to hear about what happened to you...I cannot believe that a lawyer would not take your case...keep looking! Our PT told us that we had no case because our daughter's recovery was "too good"...my suggestion to you is that you keep looking, there will be someone who takes yo...
