United Brachial Plexus Network, Inc.

Hi All,

The presentation went well, but because we were last for the day, there was not time for questions. However, I received many nice comments about the presentation and Anise and I have received many cards and emails to try and get them listed in our resource directory.

Yesterday was OBPI today was TBPI and tomorrow is more OBPI and miscellaneous stuff. I went through the slides and focused on what we wanted to see.

There was one presentation on stem cells, but it is still preliminary and was more focused at regenerating muscles that were still partially innervated, so it was an attempt to get muscle mass and not regeneration of nerve fibers. If I get a chance I will ask about that.

They have spoken a little about pain for OBPI, and I think the concensus is that it is under reported. It has been a great meeting thus far and we have met alot of great doctors. Hopefully that will continue through tomorrow!

Weather is nice 75-80 and pleasant. It was an ordeal to get here, but I think it was worth it!

Thats Great!! Need a like button lol

Hey, I just got an email from my shoulder doctor from Mayo who was at the same meeting and he said you guys did an excellent job. Keep up the great work!
He also showed a new video of me that we just shot last week to show some of my progress. Did you get to see it? I didn't realize it was going "international" so I hope he got my good side, hahahahaha. I will be getting a copy too and will post it here when I do. Cheers.

Awesome, Angela!! I look forward to seeing your video. It really should put to rest the debate who to go to for BPI Specialists,huh! We need all of the "Awareness" we can get. Maybe, new parents will be informed where to go FASTER!
We can only hope, huh.
Angela, Please plan to come to Camp 2012,OK?!! I hope Christopher comes too. I personally have learned alot about pain management from you 2 "experts".
HUGGZ galore,
