welcome Heather!
I actually can bend my arm up, but my elbow is locked so i can't bend it down. it's real great for lifting things i must say! My mother called it "erb's palsy" my whole life. it wasn't until in my recent years i started really researching it and found out more terms and info on the subject. personally, i haven't had surgery and stopped OT when i was 8 and I've learned to function pretty normally(though aesthetically it looks pretty out of place and i understand your want of surgery). I hope you figure out what you yourself need!
