<t>Awhile ago I posted for the first time after finding out that my now 7.5 mo old has a BP injury, caused at birth. They have been working with him physical therapy, not sending him anywhere and I not pushing it as there is so much going on with him as it is. However, he is now almost 8 months (fou...

<r>Hi Dawn, <br/> I posted on CAPPS to you, but that was before I read the post here. When the neuro told me about Jaxson and what had happened I had NO clue what it even was. So, I asked him and he basically just said the nerves in the shoulder area were damaged, probably some slight tears in the n...
