Hello all-
I havn't been posting for a while. Lots going on ...but I wanted to give an update. Chloe is 4 months old now. We went for our visit with the BPI specialist yesterday (dr. park) who told us that we would not need surgury. Chloe has almost all movement back except for supination which she has been doing today. We are so happy. She will continue PT and OT still doing it 3X a week. She is doing soo good-the doctors could not even tell the difference in her arms. She has reflexes back. Anyway I just wanted to share our good news. And I wanted to thank you guys. I came here when Chloe was 3 weeks old and was met with such support and a great deal of advice. THE REASON I SOUGHT PT/OT EARLY AND WENT TO DR. PARKS WAS BECAUSE OF YOU ALL AND YOUR ADVICE. If it was not for you I would have not known anything as the drs. were not helpful and did not know what they were talking about at all. Anyway thank you. We are still going to go to chicago to see dr. nath to get a second opinion but things are looking up.

- 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.
