I live in Pearl River and raised all my kids in Rockland and all three still live here... LOL. Where do you take her for therapy here? I used a therapist in NJ for years until he dropped my insurance. I loved him because he read everything about bpi before he worked on me. He reviewed his papers and...

Amaya's Mom... All OBPI mom are terrific. I've met so many over the last 11 years and am always amazed at how much they do for their children... They give so much and most obpi children do not realize how much our parents did because they made it seem normal. NOW .... I JUST LOOKED AT YOUR PROFILE.....

I just want to make something clear. Unlike Carolyn, I had PT all of my childhood. My parents took me to several different hospital in NYC before treatment began at New York Hospital. ROM began at 2 weeks old and my entire childhood was spent in informal therapy. I had some sort of formal therapy fo...

I'm so happy to hear that Amaya is doing so well. Today they call it the Statue of Liberty cast, I was so surprised when I saw it for the first time. I'm 70 and wore a similar but removable cast for 11 months as a child. I had that brace in an old chest until about 12 years ago. It laced up around m...

Thanks Jen for filling us in on Camp activities from the adult/bpi view. Camp has always been a rewarding experience for me and for my husband. We learned so much each time we attended and met so many wonderful people. I am so happy that you got so much out of camp and it was such a great experience...

Camp is healing for all of us and so great to see how the little obpi's blossom as they interact with their peers. They are such a joy to watch as they become so comfortable in their o...

That is some challenge. My son did a triathlon over the summer and we were all there cheering him on. I was exhausted just watching everyone. Best of luck.

I'm glad to hear that Thomas is doing so well. I'm sure it's hard to watch him struggle sometimes but he will be able to face and overcome most of the challenges he faces. I did not have any surgery, even with the extent of my injuries because of my age.I guess they did not think there was anything ...

How exciting... I am sure Elizabeth will do everything necessary to make this operation a huge success. I keep her hand in my prayers and soon hope to hear great healing. Louise, when I was small and my hand and fingers did not work, they did not have formal therapy for kids like us., My mother made...
