Aussie Confused

Post by jackieb »

HI
My name is jackie and I have a son who had a nerve graft at the age of 12mths for birth related erb's. I read info on this site often and are confused about all the therapists you use. We see a physio once a month and saw the surgeon about 2-3times before surgery and have had only 2appoints since. Also our son was never in a cast or splint after surgery his arm was encased in a tubular bandage which was also adapted into a sling.

I don't know how to reply exept that maybe in the USA things are done differently. I know even here from state to state there are differences and there aren't a lot of specialists.
How is your baby progressing? Are you able to find a specialist there? Do you feel you need a second opinion? If your gut tells you to do more you should listen. You care about your baby more than anyone else and may feel you need a second opinion. Do you do therapy at home everyday?

Good luck to you
T.
