<t>This was one of the first ones our therapist talked about, if I'm thinking of the right muscle or tendon. Garrett had a head tilt to the affected side and for awhile turned that way, sleep and other. The worry was the neck would tighten to the point that he wouldn't be able to side tilt ear to sh...

<r>Bringing it to the top for the guest with questions.<br/> <br/> The program is based on disability. Our kids are considered low impact when only the arm/hand is affected. I'm not sure how they qualify if there is further injury like Klumps etc. I believe the Regional Center is the starting point,...

<r>Hi everyone, <br/> <br/> I just wanted to see if there are any bpi kids & families here in the Orange County area. We have been going through the motions of PT and visits to the specialists and I would love to get some feedback on local doctors, or just chat about our kids. <br/> <br/> My son...

<t>I just want to say thanks to you all for your posts.<br/> <br/> I'm a first time mom of a 3 month old with BPI of the right arm. Just learning about the injury and possible future limitations for my son has been disheartening. Of course with current medical intervention we have great hope for goo...
