<t>Hi<br/> When I read this thread, once again I thanked God for our National Health Service in the UK<br/> Surgery is free, staying at the hospital is free, one hospital has a 'home from home' house with lovely Kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms which you can stay in for as long as you need. It's run by ...

Hi
Sorry, i don't know what duck itch is, but one or two things you might try, which shouldn't make the rash worse are aloe vera gel and have you tried a bath with bicarbonate of soda in the water? It's an old fashioned remedy, but it might be worth a try.

<t>Hi Bonnie<br/> I'm with Francine on this topic, I think that 7 months is really too young for a baby with a bpi to be crawling on all fours. My son Gavin had a LOT of weight bearing work on a ball with his physiotherapist before he started crawling on all fours at 11 months of age. He crawled on ...

<t>Hi there<br/> as ever I thought I would give you the "overseas" version of events like this - I love hearing about how things a run over in the states, so I think that maybe some of you Moms in the US like to know about things over here too.<br/> surprisingly enough, this is standard procedure ov...

<r>Hi Michelle<br/> I was interested in reading your post about treatments and help available for you now you are 16.<br/> The role of the occupational therapist for people with bpi is quite varied.
