deoderant issues

<t>Hi my son Payton, 6 ROBPI, needs to start wearing deoderant (he smells terrible!!) I don't mind helping him apply it but, I think it is important that he learns how to do it himself incase I am gone or for the future... How do others put it on with affected hand? I tried having him lay down but h...

Re: Constraint induced therapy camp- has anyone done this?

<t>I also think there is such a great chance since i have an active boy that he may break his non injured arm someday and be forced to use his righty with out therapy. I can see how it would be cruel for some kids, but not at all for my child. I would never want to have to explain to him later in li...

Re: c section versus vaginal birth after OBPI

<t>I just want you to know at least for me it got better. I absolutely didn't want anymore, and could talk to pregnant with out being negative. My son had c6 and c7 ruptured.
