When I was born, my mother's doctor was out of town. A doctor that would not perform c-sections was forced upon us. Being 10 lbs, my right shoulder got stuck under my mom's pubic bone. The doctor pulled me out by my head, which ripped/streched all the nerves in my neck and arm (So, OBPI).
I've had two surgeries at 9 months old, and 3 years old.
My mother suffered as well. She needed both brain surgery and a shunt--She still sufferes today.
My parents lost the court case due to a terrible jurey.
That's about it!
Hope I can find somebody my age to talk to :)
Re: Mod Quad surgery today
Shajwanda,
I just wanted to let you know.
I had the Mod Quad surgery done by Dr. Shannaqua (deceased) when I was three years old. Dr. Nath worked with him. The surgery was a complete success for me. I had very little range of motion, actually I don't think I could even move it that much. I walked before I crawled because of it. Anyway. I'm 13 now and my arm is not perfect at all. But I can definitely say that without the surgery my arm would be ALOT worse than it is right now. Everybody's BPI is a little different. So I can't exactly say that her results will be like mine. They could be better or they could be not as good.
But good luck with her recovery!
I'm sure you will see good outcomes.
