Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.

Thank you everyone for wishing Caralyn luck. She passed with flying colors and of course we had to have a winter storm warning the same day she takes her test. She really can do anything she sets her mind too. It made me laugh when I read about all the errands, because that is what happened last night, I asked her if she wanted to take the movies back to the video store. Of course she jumped at the chance. Thanks for being there for her.

Hi! My name is Renee too. I am from Shakopee and I have a 16 year old son with a total tbpi. He took his license in August and passed. I was so excited for him. I remember when he first had his accident the first thought that I had was how was he going to hold his new born someday. I was devastated like every mother when an accident like this occurs. Then when I was doing daycare Ryan picked up one of the daycare babies and I knew then that he would find a way. He does very well with everything that he puts his mind to. (putting bait on a fishing line, taking a fish off his hook) I wonder though why can't he clean his room or fold his clothes. I am positive that this is teenageitis and has absolutely nothing to do with his injury. I hope your daughter passes with flying colors. keep in touch if you want. It's always good to know that someone knows just how you feel. Peace to everyone!! Renee
