Hello my name is Brooke. I am 12 and currently have Erb's palsy in my right arm from birth. When I was just a baby I hadn't even moved my arm until I was 2 months old. One day I was in my chair and I moved my arm up and down! My mom says it was one of the best days of her life! It's sort of like when your son started to move his arm.

Hi Brooke!

Thanks for responding!!

How are you doing?

It is SO very exciting when you even see the littlest movements!! I think every parent of a child with a BPI knows what I mean by this.

I think that Jason is a very determined little guy, and that he is going to keep progressing. I see little improvements every few weeks or so.

Thanks again Brooke!

Congratulations. My daughter Kendall started doing the same thing when she was that age. She was about 3 1/2 months. It was so exciting because she was scheduled for primary surgery in February but they sent us home! Kendall is now 3 and has had no surgeries to date although there is some residual problems. We still have her in Therapy once a week so that we can stay on top of any problems that may surface. I haven't been on the boards for a long time, but I seen you Good News and had to respond since it sounds similar to Kendall's situation.
