Re: C-section on Tuesday
To the Moms, I guess I should not of try the best way I know how to respond first when no one responded (Yet), I saw there was a need even if I am not a mom but trying to help if I could?? I am sorry, If there is a line between a mother delivering and and my experience with erbs from birth. You saw 
, I was trying to respond to the mom with anxiety and trying to do it the best way I could ? Sorry, I guess it was not right to do? But My heart was there because I cared to her situation.

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: LOBPI. I am 77 yrs old and never had a name for my injuries until 2004 when I found UBPN at age 66.
My injuries are: LOBPI on upper body and Cerebrael Palsy on the lower left extremities. The only intervention I've had is a tendon transplant from my left leg to my left foot to enable flexing t age 24 in 1962. Before that, my foot would freeze without notice on the side when wearing heels AND I always did wear them at work "to fit in" I also stuttered until around age 18-19...just outgrew it...no therapy for it. Also suffered from very very low self esteem; severe Depression and Anxiety attacks started at menopause. I stuffed emotions and over-compensated in every thing I did to "fit in" and be "invisible". My injuries were Never addressed or talked about until age 66. I am a late bloomer!!!!!

Re: C-section on Tuesday
Thanks everyone for the kind words and prayers!
Our second daughter, Addison Jane, was born via C-section at 9 lbs 3 oz and 20.5 inches! She is beautiful and we couldn't be happier we stuck with our decision to deliver this way.
My doctor was amazing and walked me through every step! I was obviously anxious, but when my husband was able to tell me that she was moving all fingers, toes, and limbs it was worth it!
Alaina is adjusting well to a new addition and "feeds" her baby doll a bottle while I'm busy with Addison.
Thanks again for the support! It was a much needed lift before the walk to the OR.

Re: C-section on Tuesday
Yay! Was praying that all went well. Now you need to get as much help and rest as you can to recover from your surgery. Trust me - you do not want to do more than you should following a c-section. You will only set yourself back. Forget housework and any unneccesary obligations and focus on your two little ones and letting your own body heal. Ask loved ones for help. Enjoy being a new parent again!
Love and prayers,
Amy

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.
