I want to thank everyone again for your support and prayers. It makes it a little easier knowing I have people to talk that is or has been going through the same as me and my family. My thoughts and prayers are with you also. Thanks again.

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: My name is Bridget, my son Brayden has a LOBPI. He was born 5-14-07 and weighted 11lbs 3ozs and was 22inches long and got stuck on my pelvis coming out. All 5 nerves were involved 2 ruptured and 3 avulsed, and also had Horner's Syndrome. He had primary surgery in St. Louis with Dr. Parks when he was 3 months old. He used synthetic materials to fuse the nerves together, because the nerves in his calves were not long enough. Brayden currently does aqua therapy, PT, OT and speech therapy. He has little movement in his arm and hand, but that does not stop him from having fun and being a normal boy!!!

Re: My son had surgery last week
Hello again,
I posted on the other board but just in case you dont read it I thought I would tell you again. Maggie had primary with Dr Parks and he did the synthetic material with her too. She is now five and we didnt think she would ever get movement in her arm but a few months after her surgery she started moving her arm and now at five she can raise her arm shoulder height, bend at the elbow if she is reminded to, and can slightly bend her fingers, the only thing she didnt really get back is her wrist and a few other things that secondary surgery will hopefully bring.
I hope everything works out with your little one they are so precious to us all.
