You could try an oversized sleeper with the sleeve sewn shut and/or with the arm sewn to the side of the sleeper. If he can still figure out how to unzip, you can get a similar design one piece jumpsuit and snap, zip, or button it backwards. Let me know how it works.

Best of luck.

<r>I agree that you should get a second opinion. Dr Kozin in Shriner's Philadelphia is free and the local Shriner's may cover transportation.

This allows them to still use their dominant arm for crawling and assistance with activities, but forces them to use ...

<t>Marieke,<br/> <br/> Thanks for the great website. So is botox something that is living (like a virus) and the body fights it off and kills it over time? <br/> <br/> Also I know that we are not rats, but what did the drs say about possible reproductive effects? Is there another site that tells you...
