Your amazing and touching video set off an emotional outpouring from me to my daughter now 12 who suffered this type of injury at birth. I spent the first 2 yrs of her life doing PT at home 6 times a day. She is about 95% recovered. Your daughter is precious! I was doing some research on motor development in children and saw your video. Thanks for giving my daughter and I a way to connect today and remember her journey. She now plays basketball and volleyball and loves to swim like a fish!!

I'm a 21 years old girl from Denmark. I have a BPlexus Injury. As new born I didn't move my arm at all. My parents did some home therapy and I began to be aware of my arm and use it. I never had surgery.

Today I live a normal life although I do some things a bit strangely or in a funny way. I study, dance in a dance crew, work out, have friends and i'm happy. I just started therapy 2 times a week and I hope it'll help me to improve my rotation in my arm.

I'm open for questions:)

my daughter was born on october 29 and she has Erb's palsy :( I never heard of shoulder dystocia before her delivery. I wish I knew about it ... I might have known what to do to prevent it

Hello! I've had ROBPI since birth as well. Thanks for putting together this great awareness video. I've never had surgery and it's great to see that your little girl has recovered well from the surgeries. God Bless!

What a beautiful video scrapbook of your daughters early years - just beautiful.

I wish her the best.

p.s. your daughter is beautiful, and so is this video. I know it was hard on my mom, so it is probably hard on you, too. You should know that everything you are doing is great, because even if that slim chance that it doesn't help much is there, she will still love you for trying. At least that's the way I feel <3

Anyway, I'm gonna leave the ball in your court. I'm here if you ever need me!
