- 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: 8 month old not crawling.
My son just turned 8 months on the 14th of this month. He also has a LOBI. He is doing the same things as your daughter. He will set up but with my help. He is just starting to roll over to the left and back. He still can't roll over to the right, he tries, but never succeeds. His arm just dangles to the side like a wet noodle. He is starting to get shoulder movement. My therapist just tell us to keep doing weight bearing exercises, and play time on the belly. They have mentioned getting a splint for crawling, you might want to look into that.
