- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: My son was born on August 13th 2010. He weighed 10 pounds 2 ounces and just plain refused to come out!! As a result of this he was born with Erb's Palsy and had no movement from his right arm and it was rotated inward. When he was 4 months old they performed an EMG and myelogram. The results were wonderful and they put the nerve graft surgery off another month since we live 30 minutes from the Mayo Clinic. The very next morning Henrik lifted his right arm to hold his bottle!! We were completely blown away! He is now going in for a check up to see if he will need the shoulder surgery since his rotation is still a little off. We were so devastated when this first happened, since my husband is a golf pro and basketball coach, but now we just feel blessed to have our little peanut be so healthy. He'll have to work a lot harder than the other kids to keep up but we expect that from our kids anyway. He's a tough little bugger and he'll be just fine!

Re: NFL draft
I actually teared up watching it... my husband was just glad I let him watch the draft this time!! We're laying here with our little Henrik who has Erb's Palsy and loving every minute of this!! We're only 9 months into our journey of learning about BPIs and I feel blessed to already find such an inspiring story. I'm a Vikings fan so its going to be hard to root for another team but you know I will!! Heck, it's hard to root for Minnesota half the time anyways!!
