Re: Please keep Matthew in your prayers
I will be praying for Matthew that his surgery goes well and that his recovery goes well. I will also pray for you...I'm sure it's hard to watch your baby go through that.

- 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.

Re: Please keep Matthew in your prayers
We're definitely thinking of Matthew, along with the rest of your family. Good luck and I pray for skill in the doctor's hands. Please let us know how things go. Amber had surgery at Shriner's with Dr. Kozin and it was a huge success. She had the ACR.

- 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.

How is Matthew doing?

Re: Please keep Matthew in your prayers
Hi everyone,
Thanks for your thoughts. Dr. Kozin was very pleased with how both procedures went. Post-op was definitely easier when he was younger, but in the end all is well. Matthew wanted the cast off, and the bandage coveing his scar revision off. By the time this morning came around he was more accepting of things and we started a calendar when we got home with the bandage and cast removal dates. We drew on his cast and he was really pleased with the outcome!!

Cindy,
Thanks for keeping us updated. I love the calendar idea. It's a great way for him to count off the days, which I hope pass quickly.
