Thanks yes I spelt it wrong I just need to do something

Hi Carolyn R,
my daughter was diagnosed with erb's palsy when she was born, difficult birth which damaged nerves. She is now 31 and although never regained full use it really hasn't hindered her. There is now an erb's palsy website and support group, that has loads of info. The treatment has changed drastically since may daughter was born. Don't know how to post this as a link but here's the web address.

Keep us informed of her progress please, CarolynR.

Annabel is now getting physio we will know more when she is 3 months
My daughter has joined the Erbs palsy support group who are lovely and they have supplied us with loads of information
I had no idea this condition existed if any of you think you may have a large baby please consider a c section I know it's not the most preferable way to give birth but this would avoid a life time with a handicap
Annabel is such a pretty little thing I am sure she will over come her problems and we are all ready to help and encourage her

And you've got the support of everyone here as well. Looking to the future, I wonder if stem cell research will help people with nerve damage of this kind? It's amazing what they are achieving already. And she's got so much love and support form her family.

My daughter was born with this and in a very few weeks was fine and has had no lasting effect. She was quite large at birth - 9.5lbs - and this was thought to be the cause. I was briefly instructed in a few simple moves to help her, and that was it.
