okay I called and chatted with Tara

Here is the scoop...

The PT said that Addison definitely has soreness when you bring her arm up above 90 degrees. She suggested having an xray to rule out a fracture (hmmm funny that I asked about that at the hospital and they said no).
Then she said that if the x-ray comes back clear that Jordan and Amber can come back to her and she would so them some exercises to do. But she told them that if it isn't fractured that they should get a referral and appt. with a Dr. Bendra (sp?) at the Hand Clinic in St. Louis. This would be to rule out any nerve damage and if there is nerve damage then they are the people to see. Supposedly they can get complete range of motion back.

They are calling this Erb's Palsy. This doesn't mean she has it but it is the closest thing that they can find that has a code for billing purposes.

SO, would you all pray for baby Addison and her parents and our family that everything will turn out just fine and that none of us esp. Addison, Amber and Jordan will have to go through anything else! Thanks!
