United Brachial Plexus Network, Inc.

Hi all! Alexyss went for her second opinion about the swelling in her arm and her shoulder sloping again. We went to TCH. We saw Dr. Nath. He said that the surgery she had before only fixed about 10% of the problem and the doctor left about 90%. He wants to go for surgery soon since she is almost 13 months old. He said that he could not fix her nerves. They could only work on the muscles. The nerve doctor who did her went through the opening like the mod-quad when she was getting her shoulder put back into place. She did not operate on the brachial plexus at all. So, it looks like we are going to Houston to have the Mod-Quad done! My husband is going to speak to Dr. Nath tomorrow and I will let you all know how it turns out! I am not angry at the OB who did this to my child anymore; I am angry at the nerve doctor who might have caused my daughter permanent damage because she did not want to get involved b/c of a law suit! It seems like you never win sometimes!

Dr. Nath is Maia's surgeon. We really think the world of him. I know that it's hard for you to trust doctors now and I will pray that Dr. Nath's work will be successful for your little one.
