- 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.

Re: license
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.

Re: license
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
