Baby Newly Diagnosed
Does anybody have a baby diagnosed with Brachial Plexus Palsy? My 5 month old was diagnosed a couple of months ago. He has been in PT for 2 1/2 months. I'm curious to know about success stories from parents of babies with BPP. Thanks!

Re: Baby Newly Diagnosed
hi kristen. try posting your question in the obstetric section. a lot of parents do not look at the traumatic section. one thing i can tell you, though, is DO NOT let the docs play the wait and see if it gets better game.
dont forget one of the best things you can do for your baby is to take good care of yourself.

- 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!!!!!
