Ok this is just getting ridiculous now. If you honestly didn't think I meant it the way you took it, then why not give me the benefit of the doubt? Especially since it is impossible to read emotion and inflection through the computer. I am trying to keep an open mind but am still having trouble seei...

Most people who stick around on these boards after their children are older, do so because their children were injured severely enough that the injury is still a big component of life years and decades later.

Hi, I am new here as well. I have a 3 month old daughter with Erb's Palsy. I don't really have any answers for you since I am new at this, but I wanted to tell you that I am so sorry this happened to your baby. I know how emotional it can be. If you ever need to talk, feel free to message me!!

I am just curious if there are any moms in the Cleveland area who get together for play dates? I am a new mommy of a beautiful baby girl with LOBPI and would love to meet new people. I work weekends, so it gets very lonely during the week

Thank you both so much for the replies. It makes me feel so much better to know that there are other mommies out there dealing with similar situations. Lydia was seen by a Neurologist in the NICU and also a follow-up appt when she was 5 weeks old. Both times the Dr gave us an excellent prognosis - &...

She has Erb's Palsy in her left arm from a traumatic delivery. It has been labeled as mild so far. We take her to PT 1-...
