She moved her arm!!!
She moved her arm!!!
Last night we were at my Moms house and Chloe was laying across her lap. She was stretching and took her BP arm all the way up over her head (just like the shoulder stretch we do) all by herself. She has also been bending it up to her chest when she stretches. she seems to be bending and moving it more since we uped PT. Since then it seems like she just went back to what she was doing and has not moved it over her head again. Could it be a fluke? Will she do it again? Anyone else see their baby start moving like this? Thanks!
Re: She moved her arm!!!
Joshua's movement came back just like this. I got to where I would sneak in to his room to watch him wake up from his nap just to see the movement. It's like with the subconscious movement (like stretching while waking) they don't realize the arm doesn't work and so it does. It was only a matter of time with Joshua before I saw the same movement when he was awake (I don't recall exactly, maybe 2-3 weeks later?)
Anyway, I'm sure you'll see it again! Go Chloe!!

- 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".

Re: She moved her arm!!!
I'm so happy for you. If it happens once it'll happen again. We had one movement once and then didn't see it again for a while, so don't lose hope if it still takes its time. This is wonderful news!!

- 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.

Congratulations!! This is great news 
) Any new movement is a success and Chloe might be tired from using her new found muscles and resting up to use them more. Keep up the ROM/PT. You'll see more!!
