sandy Rosecrans is 56, from Martell,Ne U.S..
Family:I have 7 children and 6 grandchildren 3 boys and 3 grils.
My youngest son and his wife just had their second child a beautiful 9 pound 1 1/2 ounce 21 inch baby girl named Madelyn. The pregancy the last mopnth was not easy . She had premature labobr and d went to the hospital several times for stress tess on baby . They were asured that every thing was ok. The Doctor decided to induce labor on 9-29-99 because she felt the baby was ready and the contractions were getting stronger even though she was not dialeting the cerfix was 1000% ready. When the baby was being delivered the right arm was ovber her heaad. As she came out somehow her arm got twisted. The doctor told us that she had ERB Palsy. They set up therpy for her to start on the 7th. They told us to optmistice but that she woulld proably lose the use of the right arm. And that it would proably be shorter then the left one. We only know what we have read on the web sites we have found. It is still sinking in some. Woulld like to hear from anyone who can give us more information.
