Re: after surgery suggestion

Re: successful vaginal birth after BPI child

Re: Sidney has Botox with Dr Price This morning.
My son just had botox, a tendon transfer, a sub scapula slide and a release, by Dr. Price in NYC. I hope Sidney did great. Is Dr. Grossman Sidney's doctor as well?

Re: Avulsion?
If this reply comes thru twice, I apologize. But my son now 2 has numerous avulsions. He has a Global LOBPI. He had primary surgery at 4 months of age and now has some deltoid, bicep, and tricep back and can flutter all 5 fingers too. For him, any recovery is good.

Re: 8 month old not crawling
My son never crawled..he is a Global LOBPI. He pushed himself to the sitting position when he was about 10 months old..and then within a week started scooting and at 11 months old started cruising. He is 2 1/2 and still has never crawled.
