Our amazing baby boy was born June 10, 2011. He suffered a Brachial Plexus Injury during his birth. Steven's injury is referred to as Erb's Palsy. The purpose of this blog is to make others aware of this injury, and the risk factors during their pregnancy and delivery, so they can reduce the risk of this injury happening to their baby. Brachial Plexus palsy occurs in 2-3 per 1,000 live births. If your child already has a BPI I encourage you to find a BPI Specialist!

One year old
Steven is one and Lillian is three! Where has the time gone? Steven is doing new things constantly now. He still has limited range of motion, especially with lifting his arm above his head and external rotation. His Occupational Therapist did some tests with him today and he is doing everything age appropriate and beyond! We are so proud of him! He is standing up alone and walking as long as he is pushing something. He is getting ready to start Aquatic Therapy in a few weeks, we are excited to see how he enjoys it. With Steven becoming "Mr. Independent" therapy is becoming more difficult. :( I hope he has fun with doing therapy in a pool, he LOVES swimming! I love it now that Lillian and Steven are playing together more, they are becoming buddies! She likes to help him do things and doesn't like it when Mommy makes him cry during therapy and stretching.
