Our Hope

By sharing our story and our experiences with this birth injury we will hopefully educate people. Knowledge is power. Our hope is that you will read this blog, share it with your friends, and they will share with their friends. Then in some small way we have prevented other families from having to go through what we have.

Surgery

They took Jadon to surgery at 9:40. He has been in the best mood today, laughing and talking to the nurses. He has even had two separate offers for a date with people's granddaughters, one four months and the other three months old.

We met with Dr. Kozin and he told us that he would start with a botox injection to the shoulder to loosen it up. Then he would clean up the scar tissue that has formed and that may require cutting the clavicle. He would then decide if he needed nerve grafts from the legs or a nerve transfer. After surgery he willl go to the ICU for a while, because he is so young.

We are in the waiting room, waiting for an update. Dr. Kozin said he would come out and update us after he has had a chance to explore a little. I'll post again when I know more.
