- 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 Week 2010
I am really using my facebook page to mention a fact about BPI every day this week. I am even going to use the car window markers to write messages about BPI.

Re: Awareness Week 2010
I've spoken with Dr. Kreitzer via phone. Look for upcoming information as he shares it with UBPN.
