<t>There is a gentleman here at my job who has tbpi and I asked him last week if he had heard of this site. I have his email address and he would probably love the idea of mentoring youth. (he is an archaeologist) I will let him know about this post and hopefully he'll sign on soon!!!]<br/> \<br/> <...

<t>That gets me too! My first son was a shoulder dystocia baby and I had his head out for 7 1/2 mins., ripped to my rectum, and luckily he is not hurt. But when they get stuck like that you're running the risk of both of you dying (if the placenta detaches itself)from bleeding to death. When I got p...

<t>My service coordinator for his therapy is looking into some development care at the children's hospital here in INDY. His therapist does some evals too; last one was at nine months and he was at a 4 month level with fine motor (they just started working with him orally). He's almost advanced with...

<t>I am checking into that. Unfortunately, I have insurance that limits where I can go. I've contacted my Service Coodinator for therapy and she's trying to help me get a referral to Riley Hosp. for Children here in Indy (not sure about there being a bpi specialist or not)that's about the closest I ...

<t>I want to express my gratitude for all of your advise.

Like I posted on another board, the ob that delivered Antonio is in the same ...

<t>I've never been told which nerves were stretched and noone has ever mentioned Horner's Syndrome. I think my Pediatrician is trying to keep my knowledge at bay. All he ever says is "WAIT AND SEE" and "no he's fine", "coming along great", we can't assume that Antonio's bronchial infections are the ...

Thank you for the telephone number...I'm calling now. They don't accept my insurance either. At least we tried. Thanks again.

<t>I printed the registration form. Thank you!! I really don't think Toni needs surgery, but I am concerned about his oral issues (I've read that they can be caused from nerve damage). Do you think that something like that could be found in these evaluations? I wouldn't want to take time away from a...

<t>I am in Indianapolis, IN my son is almost a year old. His waiter's tip is only noticeable to me, and the therapists. To look at him he looks normal. The only test that has been done is the swallow study back in late January, 02,that showed he's been aspirating on liquids. He is very low toned in ...
