Hi, I'm Marnie, mom to Peyton (boy) 8.5 years old. He is left obpi. We live in Alabama.

My name is Margaret. I am 22 with a ROBPI. I live in Mobile, Alabama and I am currently in Nursing School. I am absolutely surprised (and concerned) by how many bpi's there are out there. But excited that there are so many people now getting the word out about bpi. Keep up the great work.

Hi Margaret... this is Courtney I am 26 and TBPI. I live just outside of Detroit but am in Mobile rihgt now for a wedding of Amy Dolbear... did you go to school with her maybe? She told me she me a OPBPI at school here in Mobile... just thought maybe it was you......

Courtney

I did not go to school with her, but she gave me some great advice and let me shadow her one day at work in the ER. It was great to see a fellow BPI in action and realizing that I can do it too. Tell her I send my best wishes on her marriage!

Thats right... she worked with you! Thanks for the reminder! I swear brain damage came with my BPI but the docs say NO! lol! I will send your blessings to her and say HI for you!!

I am Buffy. I have 2 daughters. Jordanna is almost 4 and has right arm bpi from birth. Emersyne is 18 months. I live in the Yukon Territory Canada. So far to date we have avoided surgery. We do daily physical therapy at home and Jordanna sees an Occupational Therapist and a Physiotherapist once a month. We are about to head down to see her specialists in Edmonton Alberta for a check up.
I am glad I found you all as now I do not feel so alone in this!
