BPI Mom here,
I have an older brother. He is something of a classical music genius. My sister called last night to say that he is dying. He has always been a horrible addict; and he has always refused help. Thankfully there are four Catholic priests attending over him, but they are very grim as to his recovery. My brother has lost 100 pounds in just two months...
Please pray for him.

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: LOBPI. I am 77 yrs old and never had a name for my injuries until 2004 when I found UBPN at age 66.
My injuries are: LOBPI on upper body and Cerebrael Palsy on the lower left extremities. The only intervention I've had is a tendon transplant from my left leg to my left foot to enable flexing t age 24 in 1962. Before that, my foot would freeze without notice on the side when wearing heels AND I always did wear them at work "to fit in" I also stuttered until around age 18-19...just outgrew it...no therapy for it. Also suffered from very very low self esteem; severe Depression and Anxiety attacks started at menopause. I stuffed emotions and over-compensated in every thing I did to "fit in" and be "invisible". My injuries were Never addressed or talked about until age 66. I am a late bloomer!!!!!
I welcome any and all questions about "My Journey".
There is NO SUCH THING AS A DUMB QUESTION.

Re: BPI Mom seeking prayers
I wish to thank you ALL for your prayers. If any of you are familiar with addiction, you may know that no matter how horrific and terrible their condition may become, they have got this blessing of resilience. They just wake up and walk away without any sense of the nightmare that their loved ones suffered in treating them to keep them alive.
My brother evidently did just that. So for the moment the addiction has not yet taken his life, but it is actually stealing the life of my family and his friends. .... Just wanted to let you know that the death threat is no longer there. I am profoundly grateful for your kind words...
