<t>Sorry to post yet again, but after reading Kate's post, I also agree there are other ways the brachial plexus can be affected. I've heard of a few other causations due to tumors growing in that area, abnormalities in the muscle/nerve development, etc... However, I've also heard atrophy is often p...

<t>Yolanda, <br/> <br/> Thanks for the response regarding whether the C-section was planned. I'm sure many of us have our theories on how these injuries happen, but I have always suspected a few reasons as to why the injuries can happen in C-sections, however I am not in the medical field and they a...

Hi Yolanda,

Any info would be greatly appreciated, especially if someone has had hand/wrist transfers there. Does anyone know if they have to...

Machera is starting preschool this year as well, next week actually, and I'm so nervous. If you are who I think you are, send me an email sometime, I'd love to chat offline w/you...
