Anyone know how to get a hold of Deanna? I need some information about the Ilizarov device, and her opinion of Dr. Guggenheim. Dr. Nath is recommending this for my daughter. I would appreciate any help in contacting her.
Thanks in advance,
Brenda

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: Daughter has global palsy (c5-T1 injury) 5 surgeries at Texas Children's by Dr
Laurent, Shenaq, and Nath. 1st Surel graft 2nd Intercostal transfer 3rd Latisimus Dorsi transfer with subscapular release 4th Pec release 5th Bicep lenghtening, (which weakened her bicep, and contracture returned.) Has went through serial casting with fair results. Her arm is about a hand shorter then the other. She has limited hand function. (able to grasp) Arm stays pronated. Unable to get to neutral. Now dealing with sternoclavicular subluxation. All that being said....She is very functional. She is a very determined, strong, tenacious young woman. Now 15. She plays the trumpet, french horn, drums, guitar, and now learning piano. Has always played on a softball, and basketball team. Until recently, for fear of further injury due to the sternoclavicular subluxation. (separation of colarbone from sternum) Not sure if all this is spelled right.

Re: Deanna
If you can't get a hold of her please let me know and I can call her. I keep in contact with her about once a week. I'll let her know to get ahold of you as well. I know she just got hers off a few weeks ago and loves the results so far.
