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.

Frankie won't drive over your foot!
If Frankie has to use something remember he will be practicing to get his drivers license and will have to go carefully.
One of my daughters use to volunteer to cut the lawn at Frankie's age. She confessed it made her feel as if she was driving... LOL...
Funny thing my husband ask Frankie if we bought a riding lawn mower would he cut the lawn?? He said no he would wait for his drivers licence. He is afraid he will not be able to turn the corners or put it in gear and will run off the curb. I do let him drive my truck in the parking lots of the different offices I work at on weekends when there is no one there and I must say he does pretty good but its an automatic not stick. Mare
