Hello, my name is Patricia Powers and I am sitting here with my daughter who is 8yrs old and has a left Brachial Plexus Injury.
She has been having a hard time lately in school with teasing and so we have decided to try and find someone close in age who may be going through the same issues.
Mariah had the surgery when she was 3 yrs. old in Houston, TX and has done great and is now even in gymnastics!
If you have a child who may be interested in getting to know my daughter please post and leave a phone number because she would love to talk to someone with the same problem. Please keep in mind that she is only 8 and would probably be able to bond with someone closer in age.
Thanks,
Patricia & Mariah Powers

- 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.

Welcome to the Message Boards.
We have a number of message boards and most of the parents of young children with bpi post on the General Message board.
Go to Forms at the top of this page and then hit the link for General Message Board.
You will be able to find other families with small children. I am sure that other parents will respond and perhaps you will find another 8 year old.
