Let's Do This Thing....

Okay, I've never blogged before but I have wanted to do this for a little while now. I originally wanted to create a webpage but thought I would try this blogging thing first and see where it took me. There's always room to be bigger and better, right? The main purpose of this blog is to serve as a support for parents who have a child with a Brachial Plexus Injury (BPI). My daughter has had a BPI from a traumatic birth and the one thing that helped me was listening and reading others' stories. It gave me something to relate to, helped me deal with what I was going through, and gave me hope! That is what I hope this blog does for you! I would LOVE you to comment and share your stories. If you e-mail me I can even post your story here. My goal is to post at least once a week.... with that being said, I am also the mother of 2 kids under the age of 2 (and they're not twins) so we have our hands pretty full. The other interesting thing about me is that I am an Occupational Therapist. Most children are referred to an Occupational Therapist for this type of injury. Being a therapist has put an interesting twist to our situation and my other hope is to post some treatment activities that I felt have worked for my daughter. We have had a WONDERFUL team of occupational therapists, physical therapists, and intervention specialists along the way and I want to share that with all of you! Please, please, please share your thoughts, feelings, and stories!!! Here goes nothing…. ENJOY!
