- 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: any asian here?
OBPI occurs worldwide and I hope you can find some people to join with for support. In the meantime, having the Internet makes us universal. We have people posting, at ubpn, from all over the world. UBPN started in American almost 10 years ago and has grown since then because there was nothing out there for us.

Re: any asian here?
I believe there is a database on this website where you can sift through registered members by region if that helps you. I'm Asian-American, in that my mom is Asian and dad is American. My obpi was caused by shoulder dystocia, by having the large person genes from my dad being born from a small woman. There is a 14 inch height difference between my mom and dad, so that didn't work out I'm my favor at birth. I've always wondered if this injury was more likely with large size differences in the parents. Anyone? I have no idea, but just an idle thought.
