- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: Nicholas is 11 years old and his birth was complicated by a severe shoulder dystocia resulting in a severe LOBPI. He has had 5 surgeries to date with very little improvement. His left arm has never fully gained any functional use and has been completely flaccid until his last surgery. It now sits at a more natural position, but he is still unable to use his arm. However, his hand function was never limited until after his most recent surgery and is now completely limited due to an ulnar nerve entrapment. He is getting ready to have his 6th surgery in April to free the ulnar nerve from his last surgery. He is an amazing young man who never gives up on his dreams. He is my HERO!!!
Awareness Message Ideas
I have been trying to figure out a way to spread awareness this year. I am going to be using window paint or markers and write awareness messages on my van windows everyday of that week. If anyone would like to give me some ideas on what messages to write I am open to any and all comments. I am also gonna write this website on my window. I hope to hear from many mom's. Have a great and blessed day!!!
Mom to Nicholas 11 LOBPI, Dawson 7, and Kalyssa 5

Take some pics, I would love to see what you come up with!!!
