United Brachial Plexus Network, Inc.

Does anyone know of any events in New Hampshire. I'm the mother of a beautiful 1 month old with
Erb"s Palsy and I would love to be able to talk to other parents and others with Erb"s Palsy about BPI.

Hello,
I do not live in NH but live in NJ, but feel free to contact me at 908-620-9690.
Do you have a specialist?
We chose Dr. Nath and my daughter had her first surgery (7 and half months old)in Houston, Texas February 2005.
Dr. Nath is going to be in Morristown, NJ on August 31. It is worth the drive. He is INCREDIBLE.

Jen,

What surgery did your daughter have? We were recommended for the MQ (DS is 6 months), but I'm having such a hard time since the other specialist we saw recommended primary... I'm so confused!!

I am sorry for not checking this earlier.
My daughter was lucky enough to just have the mod quad with Dr Nath. He didn't touch her nerves. She was 7 and a half months old . Feb 17,2005 when she had this surgery. Her right arm was totally different after this surgery in only two days and has only improved.She still has problems with supinating her wrist/arm and outward range of motion,but has come along way.We are lucky enough to have a wonderful therapist who knows alot about bpi.
Hang in there, its definitely a roller coaster of emotions. Its hard because every child's injury is different. Feel Free to call if you ever need any information or questions. 908-620-9690. I am actually looking for someone who just went through the triangle tilt.I would really like to find out more before we jump into this next surgery. There is alot involved.
Take Care... Keep Smiling. It gets better.
Jen

I am going to be in NH this weekend for our family reunion. Right outside of Hillsboro.
