Re: TRIAL

Post by admin »

Im sorry, I thought I updated everyone regarding our trial. We won! I felt guilty for 6 1/2 years regarding his delivery. Always thought I should of demanded or insisted on the c-section, instead of asking him constantly if he should do it, but I was a first time Mom and really believed the Doc knew what he was talking about. Anyway, after the verdict I actually woke up the next day realizing that I couldn't do anything and he was wrong not me. I felt like a ton of bricks was lifted from my shoulders. I also think the doctor was so cocky that he believed he was going to win and left the room just prior to the verdict (for an emergency at hospital). I think he thought I was going to attack him or something. But I'm so happy and relieved that its all over. I pray for all those that have to go through that. It's horrible to hear some things. The defense attorney actually attacked me for not bringing my son in to court. Said if he was really that bad wouldn't I want them to see him. My attorney's replied with what I told him. I did not want to put my son thru something like that. I felt he went thru enough already. I did not want anyone pointing out the things he can not do or could do. I always tell him he can do anything that he wants. I thought that would be a bad experience for him. Thank God the jury understood that. Anyway, I pray for all those that will go thru a trial and my advice, stay strong. I thank all of you for sending us prayers and keeping me strong. God Bless.

Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.

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.

YES,YES,congratulations. I believe every "won" verdict is a victory for all of us who come to UBPN. The process of your sharing & our support will give all new parents hope,how-to-survive the stress, and courage. We MUST contine to share here...

I agree with Kathleen, there are too many "ANON"'s. Please, now that the trial is over, may we get to know you by name? Ihope so. God bless you and your son.

I just realized we may know you already and this information might be under a gag order... did not mean to put pressure on you...
Nancy reminded me of the legal process thanks Nancy.
