poems about BPI?
Hey everyone! I am a student at FSU majoring in elementary education and ESE. (It's taking me FOREVER to get through!) In one of our classes, we have to make a collage about who we are and I wanted to include a poem about Tyler's BPI. Does anyone know any good ones I could use. Also since this month in National Brachial Plexus Awareness month, I am going to put the ribbon in my collage and use the poem and ribbon as a way to witness to people about Brachial Plexus Injuries. Thanks for the help:)

What a wonderful idea. If I come up with a poem I will send it off to you.
Best to you in school.
Hugs, Karen

Re: poems about BPI?
this is BV's poem
You and I
by "B.V."
You wake. I call.
You reach. You try.
You fall. I lift.
You ache. I soothe.
You come. I hug.
You too.
You try.
They bat. They swing.
You watch. I cringe.
Then
I let
you go.
You play. You win.
I cry.
You grow. I will.
You dream. I plan.
You can. You can't.
You grasp. You learn.
I learn.
You find. They stare.
You ask. I ask.
(inside... I yell ...)
You want. You give.
They laugh. You love.
I try.
I drive you there.
P.T. They care.
It hurts. You cry.
Once more, they say.
My heart. Your will.
I cheer. I'm there.
I clap.
You clap.
Well
You try.
At last, at night.
You sleep. You're free.
You're still. I kiss.
I pray.
You bless.

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: Daughter has global palsy (c5-T1 injury) 5 surgeries at Texas Children's by Dr
Laurent, Shenaq, and Nath. 1st Surel graft 2nd Intercostal transfer 3rd Latisimus Dorsi transfer with subscapular release 4th Pec release 5th Bicep lenghtening, (which weakened her bicep, and contracture returned.) Has went through serial casting with fair results. Her arm is about a hand shorter then the other. She has limited hand function. (able to grasp) Arm stays pronated. Unable to get to neutral. Now dealing with sternoclavicular subluxation. All that being said....She is very functional. She is a very determined, strong, tenacious young woman. Now 15. She plays the trumpet, french horn, drums, guitar, and now learning piano. Has always played on a softball, and basketball team. Until recently, for fear of further injury due to the sternoclavicular subluxation. (separation of colarbone from sternum) Not sure if all this is spelled right.
