<t>The things I listed above do affect my son. I think it's C-4 that can have an affect on the diaphram. My son has a hard time with volume of his voice and saying a sentence with more than four words. He has to stop and take a deep breath. He has week truck as well which does affect the strength in...

Have you had his diaphram function tested? Is he getting speach therapy? It could also be weak trunk strength. This all affects speech.

<t>I often thought about going to the local hospital and asking if there was any way I could be freelance and talk with new parents whose children have been injured.

This has happend once before when he was just learning to crawl/scoot and we assumed it was because he was dragging his arm along. He's two now and I don't know how he got the blisters. He isn...

<t>I need to know the name of the test that is done to see if the diaphram is working correctly. My son's injury involved all the nerves with avultions and I was wondering if he was having a hard time breathing. He was breathing really heavy after running a short distance. We live at a high altitude...

what's the name of the test to see if the diaphragm has been compromised? My son has a global injury to his left arm and it involves c4. I was just wondering if his diaphragm is working properly. I know there's a test that a dr. can do. Anyone know the name of it?
