Looking for Teens who have had or are considering surgery

[admin]

Hello,

My 16 year old daughter had a brachial plexus injury at birth. We are considering surgery for her internal shoulder rotation and her elbow contracture.

My daughter and I are very interested in talking or meeting with other teens who have had, or are considering surgery.

Thanks,
Marion

I've emailed some people with older kids to read this post - I hope they are around so that they will give input.

Good luck,
