United Brachial Plexus Network, Inc.

Thanks. There are times when I just get into the site and forget to log in first. Thanks for the reminder. I will let you know what the study results show. So far it is interesting but I need about five more children to make the study complete. Just having a challenge with locating the kids as many of the "centers" are too busy to participate with locating participants. I totally understand, just need to look a little harder is all! Have a great day. Lucretia

I just want to say "thank-you" to all of you who responded to this website request for research participants. Though I did not receive any "volunteers" I did learn a great deal about this web site, the folks who utilize it, and the sense of love and protection you all have for your children. It is my hope that early intervention, and long-term follow-up of the children will permit effective means for recovery of function. This is a "quiet" population in that many health care providers are unsure what to do with a child with a brachial plexus palsy. May the research studies, such as those listed on these websites, better inform the health care providers that work with your children. Lucretia
