They are all qualified but sometimes luck plays a very important role; and sometimes the gynae erred in delivery or misjudged the size of the baby.
My baby injured his right arm during delivery by vacuum suction; some nerves were damaged; this condition is called erbs palsy.

They are all good but some do have an attitude problem.

He's a big boy now. Took him for physiotherapy 3 times a week a few months after he was born. He can use his right arm now but it is weak and not 100% recovered; never will be. Still considered lucky.

Thank you DarkNite.

Sorry to learn about your Aunt. Was she diabetic?

Yes he is indeed. In my opinion the boy's arm looked deformed; may be not a result of injury during delivery as plexus injury can be treated.

Was he diagnosed after delivery as having plexus injury? Did he undergo any treatment or physical therapy; and if so was there any improvement? If not did he undergo any surgery to correct the condition? Surely a baby born with plexus injury would be diagnosed immediately and the pediatrician would have advised performing the relevant therapy to arrest the condition; if left untreated the result would be a lifeless limb!
