Re: Botox questions (NON - POST SURGICAL)

<t>Carol,<br/> <br/> Eric can still get his hand to mouth, although he does not do it as much as he was before the botox. Also, the stairs are another issue, and Eric is all of a sudden coming down on his stomach. He does seem more frustrated with his daily routine, and I am hoping to get him fitted...

Re: Botox questions (NON - POST SURGICAL)

<t>It has been one week post botox injection and Eric is extremely clumsy. He fell on his face today and got bruised up. His balance has really suffered. Did you notice this with your daughter, and do you or anyone have any suggestions. I was hoping that maybe Theratogs would help??<br/> <br/> Holly...

Re: Botox questions (NON - POST SURGICAL)

<t>Eric did extremely well and did not even cry. The needle was so small. Well we will see. I believe the dr. said that he injected 30cc. He said that should be enough to get the job done. He also recommended probably three rounds of injections at three months apart. I wish it took effect immediatel...

Re: Botox questions (NON - POST SURGICAL)

<t>Lucys Mom<br/> <br/> Well we should see..botox injection is tommorow. We have the opposite. Eric'c bicep is overpowering his tricep. Eric bends his elbow very well and has excellent hand to mouth function. He cannot actively extend his elbow though, so he is quite contracted. How was the injectio...

Re: Is it possible??

Hi Annette

Does he move his other fingers and wrist? Does his arms have normal movement? I have never heard of the thumbs only being affected, but maybe someone else has? Did he have a traumatic birth, or was he large baby?

Re: Botox questions (NON - POST SURGICAL)

My son Eric ROBPI will be 2 on the 25th and is going to have an injection into his bicep on Wednesday, however we are doing it to temporarily weaken his bicep in order to get some tricep. My son has not had surgery. Where is your daughter getting her bicep injected at?

Re: Theratogs question

Hi Amanda

My son Eric is also 2 with ROBPI and I was interested in getting them. I saw one and was surprised as to how many pieces? What has been your experience with it?

Re: Looking for support. My daughter has Erb's Palsy.

<r>Welcome<br/> <br/> I live in California, but there are many people on these boards from the east coast. How much function does your daughter have with her arm? The good news she has progressed since birth. Therapy and massaging is very important. Did she have any movement at birth? Feel free to e...
