Re: 14 month old post-op limitations

I know you posted this a while ago, but I haven't visited in a while. My daughter had surgery at 4 months and she had some movement but not much. After they took off the cast she looked HORRIBLE. The little bit of movement she had gained in the 4 months prior to surgery was gone. I wondered if I had...

Re: Moving to Houston-Know of any Drs.

Thank you!!! We still have some time before we move and I am a little stressed about having to set up a new support system for my daughter. It is good to hear from people who have already dealt with the Dr's and their staff.

Thanks again

My daughter just turned 11 months old and her left arm is affected, at night I tuck her in tight leaving her arms free. The tightness of the blanket stops her from rolling in her sleep. Since the weather is getting warmer and a blanket may be too much I use a light sheet or receiving blanket to keep...
