My daughter will have the Mod Quad surgery with Dr. Nath on May 12th. I need any info regarding after surgery procedures. I understand her arm will be in the SOL splint, so will her normal car seat work for her. Which type of car seat did you find better? Any information you can pass on would help.
Thanks, Jill

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: Hi! I am Laura, the mom of Tyler, who has a ROBPI. I've been a member of this site since 1998 and owe a great deal to the wonderful people in the UBPN community who have helped us along the way get what we needed to get done for Tyler. Tyler is now 14 years old and in the 9th grade. He's a super bright kid and loves his video games. Tyler had the mod quad surgery with Dr. Shenaq shortly before he passed. That was his first and only surgery. Now that he is older he is requesting additional surgery. He'd like to be able to supinate. Our goal is for Summer 2013.

Re: Info on Mod Quad
I found the best info at www.injurednewborn.com
If you enter into Maia site, there is all kinds of great info on what to expect and what to bring and what kind of car seat and........I really could just go on forever. I printed everything out that was listed on the web site and it was pretty much my bible for a few months while we were in Texas last year.
Good Luck!

Re: Info on Mod Quad
The injurednewborn site is down for 2 days because it is being upgraded, but Dr. Nath's site has a mod quad and a travel FAQ that should be very helpful for you. He also has a post-op care sheet that you can print in advance to be prepared.
