Thank you all, you made me laugh this morning! There is a picture on the internet of her at camp and her arm is resting in her lanyard. She is silly! She looks happy and not at all like I had imagined in my mind. :-) I get to pick her up tonight...Yeah! Boy it was a hard week. lol You guys are surely right though, she most likely had a blast and isn't ready to come home now. Thanks again for your support, Have a great Friday!!!

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.

Us bpi kids are a creative lot... I love the way she positioned her arm for photos.
When I got married I had one request of my future husband. Under pain of death I made him promise to hold my elbow down in all photos... LOL... He did!
Silly now when I think of it, but it was so important to me then. LOL..
Welcome home Megan! I bet she will look like she grew a foot while she was away... Now, Mommy will sleep better!

Yeah!!!! :-) Megan is home! She had a great time. Sounds like she didnt even miss me! lol She met some wonderful friends and made lots of art. They said she was so quiet at first and then she got really comfortable and they were wondering what happened to the quiet girl. That made me feel so much better!! Thanks for getting me through the week everyone, I think it was harder on Mom than Megan.:-) Have a great, relaxing weekend. Sandi

Sandi,
I was at Old Navy this week and found the best sweatshirts. They are a regular sweatshirt (no hoodies) however they had a pocket in the front. I know it sounds odd but when I was younger I used to put my hand in a sweatshirt like that to keep it held up. Now I can run and my arm just goes number but I have more control over it. These shirts were really a great idea if you have an Old Navy around I might check it out.
Hope all is well.

All of my sweats have pockets so I can walk without my arm just hanging and feeling heavy.

I think Old Navy is online so if you don't have one near you can order online.
