<t>Hi - Chloesmom This is another mom to a Chloe<br/> My daughter was born almost a year ago (may 2nd 04)<br/> When we first brought her home she had spontaneous hand movement and that was it. I believed that she would get better even though the drs were saying surgery. Since we took her to PA to se...

<t>Chloe is now 2 1/2 months old, but before this we had minimal shoulder shrugs and spontaneous hand movement.<br/> Ever since we started the PT she has been doing so much better, her internal rotation is still pretty bad she won't externally rotate her arm at all. She only has extension in her arm...

<t>Chloe lifted her entire arm up off the bed this morning and lifted it all the way above her head!!!!<br/> (She was laying down and she was half asleep, but she did it)<br/> She has been moving at her shoulder, but never like this. YIPEE SKIPEE.<br/> I think she might just regain full use of her a...
