Hi Liz, and everyone else. My name is Shoan and I just stumbled upon this message board while researching Erb's Palsy. My son Matthew is 8mths. old and has left BP injury. He has improved steadily since birth, however is still unable to properly use the biceps and bend the elbow. I do physical therapy with him myself at home and just started electrical treatments with our local acupuncturist. Any sharing on what you have experienced or found to help will greatly easr my stress about this.

My email is sdieter@lisco.com if anyone has something to share. I don't get online very often I also have a 3yr. old - he calls his brother "Maffie"

Welcome to the boards Liz and Leilani. I'm sorry you had to find us, but welcome, welcome. My name is Tanya, and I have a daughter named Amber who has a ROBPI (right obstetrical brachial plexus injury). She is 4 years old. You are not alone unfortunately. I feel like when I found this board, I was welcomed with open arms, found new friends who have helped me to learn a lot and have also helped me to grow to accept my daughter's injury. Now I see my beautiful daughter first and her injury last. You too will get there someday. Feel free to ask any questions on this board, or you can email myself or any others with questions. I feel like I am always willing to share any information I can pass on to new families that I once had shared with me when I was new to the boards. Please make sure you are signed up to receive the Outreach magazine that is free. Nancy can make sure to send you some past issues as well.
