United Brachial Plexus Network, Inc.

We took Grant to Cincinnati on Tuesday for their BPI clinic. I just knew he didn't have any bicep and that we weren't making a lot of progress. Turns out, the bicep is there but I just can't see it yet. The EMG revealed progress that we couldn't visually see!!! Praise God!!

Now it's just a matter of therapy and waiting to see what the end result is but at least now I know there's something to work with!

Awesome, awesome news!!

That is so awesome!!! It is always such a blessing when you can be reassured by the tests that are available. I am so happy for you and your family.

The same thing happened to my son. One thing you can do to actually see the first movements of the biceps is get your child in a pool or tub submerge child up to chest and put hand/wrist on a floatie and watch child move it on top of the water. It makes it so much easier for the child to move it in the water because it takes away weight and the affect of gravity on arm/hand. We used a clock that was a puzzle but made of material that floats that I had found at the dollar store! Best dollar I ever spent! My son loves the water and water is great for our kids! My son is 7 1/2 and he can swim all over, even in deep end! I never thought I would see that.
