Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: Hi! I am Laura, the mom of Tyler, who has a ROBPI. I've been a member of this site since 1998 and owe a great deal to the wonderful people in the UBPN community who have helped us along the way get what we needed to get done for Tyler. Tyler is now 14 years old and in the 9th grade. He's a super bright kid and loves his video games. Tyler had the mod quad surgery with Dr. Shenaq shortly before he passed. That was his first and only surgery. Now that he is older he is requesting additional surgery. He'd like to be able to supinate. Our goal is for Summer 2013.

My dad was in a motorcycle accident a few months ago. His upper right side was broken and his lower right side was shattered, nearly severing his right leg. While in the rehab hospital, a law office donated a WII to the facility for the patients to use as therapy. I think that's an awesome idea! My son is almost 10 (ROBPI) and I am constantly trying to come up with new fun ways for him to keep his arm exercised. I think the WII is great!
