Laurent, Shenaq, and Nath. 1st Surel graft 2nd Intercostal transfer 3rd Latisimus Dorsi transfer with subscapular release 4th Pec release 5th Bicep lenghtening, (which weakened her bicep, and contracture returned.) Has went through serial casting with fair results. Her arm is about a hand shorter then the other. She has limited hand function. (able to grasp) Arm stays pronated. Unable to get to neutral. Now dealing with sternoclavicular subluxation. All that being said....She is very functional. She is a very determined, strong, tenacious young woman. Now 15. She plays the trumpet, french horn, drums, guitar, and now learning piano. Has always played on a softball, and basketball team. Until recently, for fear of further injury due to the sternoclavicular subluxation. (separation of colarbone from sternum) Not sure if all this is spelled right.

Re: BPI Camp Ann Arbor Michigan
Anyone know what will be going on at the BPI Camp in Ann Arbor? I have not been to one of these events, and I am weighing the options to see if it would be something I should try to get to...
thanks!
thanks!

Re: BPI Camp Ann Arbor Michigan
here is the pamphlet

it's not part of UBPN, so not the same Camp you may have seen other posts about.
This one is a one day camp/get together for kids age 7+ and their parents.
