United Brachial Plexus Network, Inc.

Hello- My name is Dianna, and my son sustained a severe
bpi in Jan. of this year- a root avulsion. He's scheduled for surgery with Dr. Nath at Methodist in Houston on June 23rd. Any information anyone can pass on to me concerning the doctor and their actual experience would truly be appreciated. Matthew, my son, is 21 years old. I don't know which nerve has the root avulsion... just got the dx a couple of days ago and have requested a copy of the report...

Take good care all,
Dianna

Welcome to the boards and UBPN Chris. My 27 year old son, Ryan, was in a motorcycle accident 4 years ago and these boards and the people here have been wonderful.

I also live in the Seattle area and hope to meet you one of these days.

You are in excellent care with Courtney and Julia.

Best to you in Houston.

Hugs, Karen
