These are some books that I think may help parents of children with BPI, or any other special needs. We've found them very helpful and inspiring. I ordered them online from Powell's Books.com but you may be able to find them at the library. I hope you find them helpful.
"One-Handed in a Two-Handed World" by Tommye K. Mayer
"Special Strength for Special Parents" by Nina Fuller
"Chicken Soup for the Soul, Children With Special Needs" by Jack Canfield

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: LOBPI. I am 77 yrs old and never had a name for my injuries until 2004 when I found UBPN at age 66.
My injuries are: LOBPI on upper body and Cerebrael Palsy on the lower left extremities. The only intervention I've had is a tendon transplant from my left leg to my left foot to enable flexing t age 24 in 1962. Before that, my foot would freeze without notice on the side when wearing heels AND I always did wear them at work "to fit in" I also stuttered until around age 18-19...just outgrew it...no therapy for it. Also suffered from very very low self esteem; severe Depression and Anxiety attacks started at menopause. I stuffed emotions and over-compensated in every thing I did to "fit in" and be "invisible". My injuries were Never addressed or talked about until age 66. I am a late bloomer!!!!!
I welcome any and all questions about "My Journey".
There is NO SUCH THING AS A DUMB QUESTION.

I have received an immense amount of help to save my "good" arm/shoulder from over-use using the book One-handed in a Two Handed World.

One handed in a two handed world is amazing!!! And jojo loves for me to read it to him. So when he is older he will know how to "take care of his baby and hang up clothes". lol
