Sorry to drag an old thread up yet again, but I have just found this.
My son has Erbs Pasly as a result of shoulder dystocia. He is currently 10 months old and at 5 months had surgery to repair 4 damaged nerves. He had the surgery at RCH Melbourne.
We have seen great recovery, although now the other arm is displaying the palsy position, which is concerning
He has a very long way to go, and every time I see the older kids there for the clinic I get a pang of saddness, as I worry thats going to be us in 10 years time
Hope to be able to chat to a few other mums whos kiddies have this condition
Your definately welcome to chat. I've always found it really helpful to chat with other mums who are going through this. I was just thinking that next week it will be 3 years since Danielle had her nerve graft surgery. I still get pangs of sadness about how the whole thing will affect her, but it has certainly gotten easier. It is amazing how well Danielle has learnt to adapt, and so many people don't even realize there is an injury.
