Hello all!

We will be having our first support group meeting on Tuesday, Nov 11 at 5:30 pm at St. Louis Children's Hospital in the cafeteria. Each family that would like to attend will have a 5.00 credit towards any food. Please contact me at stlbpi@yahoo.com if you are interested in attending. We will have bi-monthly meetings and plan on having a fundraising dinner in April.

Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: My name is Bridget, my son Brayden has a LOBPI. He was born 5-14-07 and weighted 11lbs 3ozs and was 22inches long and got stuck on my pelvis coming out. All 5 nerves were involved 2 ruptured and 3 avulsed, and also had Horner's Syndrome. He had primary surgery in St. Louis with Dr. Parks when he was 3 months old. He used synthetic materials to fuse the nerves together, because the nerves in his calves were not long enough. Brayden currently does aqua therapy, PT, OT and speech therapy. He has little movement in his arm and hand, but that does not stop him from having fun and being a normal boy!!!
Location: Owensboro, KY
