<t>Hi. I haven't posted in awhile but I had a question for any of you who have used the early childhood care offered by the public school system. My daughter Zoe has a robpi yet she functions very well. I am concerned that she is going to be too smart to get into this program. She really needs the O...

<t>I would like to see UBPN add to the profile a section to put a short bio. Like who in a certain family is affected by a BPI, and ages, stuff like that. I don't know if it is possible...I just can't keep people strait in my head, and I feel like I have to give vital stats everytime I post so peopl...

Does anyone know how to find out if a certain Doctor has injured children before?

<t>In the near future, Zoe will be receiving Botox injections. What should I expect imediatly after she is given the shots? Will she be able to move her arm normally? Will it cause her lots of pain? Her shots will be in her sholder hopefully to help with winging...Any experience would be helpful!<br...

I am Melissa Medlin, wife to Jeramy Medlin, and mother to Nolan 15 months, and Zoe 2 1/2 who has a ROBPI.

This is a great idea!

Also, please feel free to email me if you have any questions. I am NOT an expert. Just a parent with an injured child taking one day at a tim...

<t>Update on Zoe...<br/> <br/> When we went to the Doctor before I posted this message, she put Zoe on Zantac. It's WORKING! She hasn't gotten sick for like 6 days straight. We are so happy!!! Thank you all for all of your response! If anyone else has anything else to share I would still love to rea...

My son Nolan is just over a year old, and he has had a pillow for a month or so. The pillow we use for him is the same width as the bed he sleeps in, so there is less of a chance for him to move it in his sleep. This works well for us.
Best of luck!

<t>I will try not to be too graphic here, but we have got a really bad problem with Zoe. For the last 4 nights in a row she has woken up vomiting. She wakes up retching, and when she is done and cleaned up she goes back to sleep. We took her to the doctor and she said she could have what they call C...
