<t>My daughter has a ROBPI. She is now 18 months old. She very rarely uses her right arm. We try to make her use it as much as possible. But She mostly uses her left. She puts blocks together with the left, eats with her left. She actually uses her left hand all the time unless we make her use her r...

<t>Francine-<br/> You are very right. Don't worry-not upset. I didn't think about this. I know some people cannot really afford the therapists and such, thought I might try to help someone out a bit.<br/> If anyone does have a therapist that recommends this type of brace, I have no problem sending i...

The third one was very honest and up front, as was I. I asked him if he was experienced with shoulder dystocia deliveries; if he was...

<t>WHAT GREAT NEWS FOR US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br/> We found out that TeNeisha is doing fine with her therapy so far. The doctors were very pleased with her progress so far. She will not need any surgery in the near future. Thank Goodness!!!!!<br/> <br/> They are going to see her every si...

<t>Congratulations Karen!!! I am also pregnant again, about 5 months. I have told my OB about my daughter and they are doing extra ultrasounds to keep an eye on the size of the baby. They are supposed to check the size of my pelvic area tomorrow to make sure that it won't be a problem. I have never ...
