Surgery for brachial plexus
My daughter just turned two and we will be going tomorrow to set a date for surgery, and of course being her mom I am very scared. She really has come a long way since birth but the surgery is still recommended. They would like to go in with a scope and "release the muscle" I would like to knomw if anyone has experienced this surgery and what I can expect. Thanks!!!

You might get a better response on the General Board, more parents read that one... Good luck!
