Hi my name is Lise-Anne I have a son with erb palsy he is 12 yrs old today . This happen a long time ago ans
the first year, he was at the hospital alot every three months we when for a emg and finally at 11months
he got his operation it consist of doing nerve graft and clean scare tissus it was surpose to take about 4to 6 hours
so when the doctor came out 2hrs later we new something was wrong they told us they could not do the nerve graft
because it was to close to the spinal cord it was to dangerous to do so all they did was clean scar tissus
and thats all they could do for him and what his progress will be , is what we see . Today his progress is
he has 50% us of his arm his elbow is at 90 degree he can't raise his arm very high , he has no wrist movement , and very little finger
movement , if anyone has any information if there are new this for his age or is to late for him . Reading some of this stories I think
there might be some hope for him please contact me.
