Hello,
My 16 year old daughter had a brachial plexus injury at birth. We are considering surgery for her internal shoulder rotation and her elbow contracture.
My daughter and I are very interested in talking or meeting with other teens who have had, or are considering surgery.
Thanks,
Marion

I've emailed some people with older kids to read this post - I hope they are around so that they will give input.
Good luck,
