Re: 2nd round of botox?

<r>Harper had her 1st round at 6 months old (at the same time as primary surgery) and Dr. Kozin decided to do another round about 1 year after that. Unfortunately, even the 2nd round didn't help much with external rotation. Her shoulder was just too tight and not sitting in the correct position for ...

Re: ?'s for those who have been thru ACR w/ Dr. Kozin

Thank you for the good thoughts! I'll be sure to give Christina the message.
I did get my Outreach and was so excited to see that article. It made things even clearer and I am very hopeful about the outcome.

?'s for those who have been thru ACR w/ Dr. Kozin

<t>Harper is having ACR surgery on 10/21. There were a few questions I forgot to ask Linda so I figured I'd ask here. <br/> Will Harper have to spend the nite in the hospital or is it a same day surgery? How long does the procedure take?<br/> What can we expect to see when the cast comes off? Will t...

Re: Purpose of external rotation cast?

<t>Harper has had the cast and Botox 2x now w/ Dr. Kozin. The reason for the cast is to give the external rotators a nice stretch since they are usually really tight. In our experience, when the cast comes off the difference is like night and day in regards to how loose those muscles are. Of course,...

Re: Botox - how young is ok?

My daughter had Botox at 6 months along w/ her primary surgery. She just had it again at 19 months. Things went well both times. It is very nerve wracking because you never know what can happen. Good luck with whatever you decide :)

Re: Anyone going to be at Dr. Kozin's on 5/13?

Thanks!
Everything went well. She'll be in the cast for 3 weeks. It was a long day and she's a little frustrated with the cast but she was a real trooper!
