Hi Rachael,
I'm new too. My son Garrett is almost 14 months now and also recovering well. He was 12lbs at birth (2 weeks early) and has a left arm obpi. He surprised me today by crawling up three stairs while I was getting laundry together! We haven't really thought about surgery yet, considering OT twice a week has been working so well for him. I was thrilled to find UBPN-who knew there were so many of us out there!


Glad to hear Richie is coming along so well too! Good Luck!

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.
Location: New York

Welcome Rachel & Carrie F

I am glad you found us. I thought I was the only one with OBPI until 5 years ago and I was a grandmother by that time... LOL... Glad you posted
