Re: Yes or No for Nerve Surgery???

I agree with the other posters. Please get a 2nd opinion. My daughter got motion back in the fingers, hand and elbow before 8 months. Her biceps didn't get motion back until well after a year.

Re: Seeking other teens with BPI

My daughter, Danielle (ropbi), is a soon to be 13 yr old. She would be interested in "meeting" other kids with Erb's too. She hasn't met other kids before. We were looking at the camp pictures and are interested in going next year. We are in NY and willing to exchange emails as well. - Dawn

Pain in Shoulder

Hi everyone, I haven't been here in quite awhile. Danielle had a ROBPI. When my daughter was 5 she had a humeral osteotomy done. Everything went well and she gained much more than she lost. Danielle has never felt any pain at all. When she was 10 Dani went on crutches for about 15 months (on and off...

Re: humeral osteotomy

When Dani went to Boston it was for 1 3-D MRI. That was what the rx stated. We had it done right at the hospital so ther wouldn't be a problem.

They do 20 min. of stretching and cardio, then 30 min of Karate then a 10 min warm down. Most of the stretching she does is the same as what Michele in Boston told us...
