It's the whole truth and nothing but the truth....finally.

this is by far the MOST valuable piece of work ever done for the brachial plexus community

BRAVO! to lisa and to everyone involved in making this video

I have watched it multiple times and each time, it takes me deeper and deeper.

With this DVD in hand, you will gain access to eyes and ears that you never had before.

We are at the crux of so many doors opening.

People will listen now.

I am so in awe of this piece.
it is just unbelievable.

THANK YOU for giving my daughter a public voice.

And now we need a strong committee to get letters written and DVDs sent out .... this DVD has to reach as many people as possible --

have you sent a copy yet to Ricki Lake?

Wow, bravo guys! Pretty incredible video. As an adult who experienced tbpi, seeing little babies have to endure the same scars and braces that I have endured as an adult was heartbreaking. At least I can reason and understand the painful experience. I can't imagine what a little baby thinks.......
Hopefully this will help spread awareness of what a brachial plexus injury is and how simple it is to prevent birth injuries.

I was watching the long version of the spotlight on video yesterday morning while waiting for my husband to get home from work and he walked in sat down next to me and watched the last 12 minutes or so and I think for the first time ever, he understands my feelings about the birth of our baby. I have been anal for several years that I do not under any circumstance want an epidural when and if we were to have a family together. He would always tell me "we'll see when your in labor what you say then" Mind you he has two children from a previous marriage and has been through the birth process before. I also keep telling him I dont want to be stuck in a bed on my back to have a baby.

Well, now we are expecting in May and this video could not have had better timing. It has allowed my husband to truly understand some of the pain both a parent and an injured person goes through. He is very open to helping me have as natural a birth as possible so our son has the best possibility of not getting injured ad he is likely to be a very large shouldered big baby just looking at the two of us and our birth histories.

I am very thankful for this video! I now wonder if my OB would be at all open to watching this...We will begin discussing the birth plan at my next appointment in a week and a half. I am so glad my husband is on the same page as me now. This makes my wishes much more likely to be a reality so we bring home a safe healthy uninjured baby boy in May.
Thanks so much to anyone who donated $$$ to make the spotlight on a possibility! Thanks also Lisa M for doing all the behind the scenes work to make this a reality!

From Michaela and Me

First, It's great and I'm so glad it's been made. I would have liked to have included pain/sensation issues, paralyzed diaphragm issues, horners, heightened sunburns on affected side and the rest of the list, not to mention all of the possible surgeries, forced casting, estim. and endless therapy... I feel that is extremely important info. Not in depth for this video, but touched on.
