Hi Everyone!
I am new here and my daughter was born in August last year, she was 9lbs 4oz and had shoulder distotia resulting in OBPI. I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and saw a post with people looking for support in Canada. There is a support group in Calgary that has just started up. We have a facebook page under Southern Alberta Brachial Plexus Injury Family Support Group. Please feel free to join us.
Our daughter finally has some movement coming back, she had no movement until about December and now has almost full movement in her shoulder. We are now working on her elbow and wrist!
Thanks everyone! You are so lucky to have this great website!
