Hi, I'm Pauline.
I live in Herefordshire, England with my son Ryan (aged 8), daughters Eleanor and Lauren (twins aged 7) and Joshua (who has a ROBPI) who is 5 on Christmas eve.
We live in a quiet rural village with my partner Trevor, who is a financial controller for a nearby company.
He has a son Tom who is 15, he visits quite regularly and is hero-worshipped by my kids!
I am a member of the Erbs Palsy Support group over here, and love to visit you all on this forum!

Josh was border line for a nerve graft, has had a shoulder release and tendon lengthened, 2 operations so far, a possible muscle transfer in the future.
Josh has other problems (mild cerebral palsy) but is an extremely happy kid.
I used to be a laboratory technician, now a full time mum to my angels, a far more rewarding career!
Best wishes to you all!

Hi to everyone
My name is Lyn(51) unfortuantely my husband for 26 years John died last year. We have two sons Michael 25 and Joel 23 (LOBPI). I am a podiatrist, Michael is studying mechanical engineering and Joel is continuing the family business( est. 1953) he is in his final year as an apprentice motor mechanic. He has had to start over because his father was out of action for many months due to cancer and I had to find someone to move in to supervise him. Things are slowly improving. Joel had a derotational humeral osteotomy that has greatly improved the use of his arm. I am a strong supporter of aqua therapy.

Hi...My name is Betty...I'm a "stay at home" (LOL) mom...I've been married to Kelvin for 18 years (He's a dentist). We have 8 children: Danny 17, Tom 15, Holly 13, Nathan 11, Jacob 5, Kristi 3, Matthew 2 and David (LOBPI) 10 months. David is surgery-free so far. Dr. Nath has recommended the mod-quad (from viewing videos)...we're waiting for David's progress to plateau before we decide. He is crawling and can reach to about 120 degrees.
