I think it's a miracle. Well, yesterday was the big day for baby Asher. He had his doctor's appointment at Shriner's. The doctor there said Asher has a brachial plexus injury. The brachial plexus is a complex network of interconnecting nerves that innervate the arm from the shoulder to the hand. This is why he is unable to move his arm thoughout it's full range. The doctor said it has a good chance of resolving on it's own and he should gain full mobility. We also saw an occupational therapist yesterday who gave us some exercises to do with Asher. I'm thankful that I have been trained in physical therapy so I can do all his therapy at home and we don't have to make any additonal appointments. The doctor said there are NO problems with his bones. NOTHING is underdeveloped in his shoulder. I just want to thank everyone again for fasting and praying. I'm so grateful! We feel so blessed and we love you all.

It's either a miracle or a miracle. An update on Asher.

Oh Erin I am so happy that nothing is the matter with his bones!
Look at that little chunk!!! We're so happy that every thing turned out better than expected. It's amazing what a little bit of faith can do...or I should say a lot. We'll continue to keep you in our prayers. Love ya'.
What a sweet face!! How grateful you must be that he's not in pain and won't have to go through pain because of this in the future. I bet he's glad that he has such an awesome mama that knows her PT :) He'll be your little workout buddy!
that's great news. now don't be a mean therapist and make him cry.
he looks so sweet! i wish we were closer so i could cuddle him! once again, we are so glad he's ok.
We are so happy that there is nothing wrong with his arm. We keep you guys in are prayers, thoughts, and harts. Hope to see you guys soon.
Love you all.

i'm SO glad you blog! again, good to be in touch with you!
Hey, I am so glad that you left a comment on my blog. I tried to click on to your blog a while ago, but couldn't get any of your posts to come up (probably me). Glad I got you now. I will leave a comment on those people you asked me to. I am so glad to hear that everything is going to be ok for your babe. He is such an adorable little thing. Congrats to you guys.
Glad to know that you had good news to share and that Asher is doing great and never had pain! Dedrick was diagnosed with Torticollis at 4 months old. We had to do head, neck, and shoulder exercises with him every day for 6 weeks, and he was in excruciating pain and would scream bloody murder, it was so sad! It did get better and we didn't have to take him to physical therapy. You go mom, make sure you do those exercises!
Erin! oh my gosh! In so happy i found your blog! What cute boys you have! I have not seen you guys for sooo long! This is a good way to keep in touch! Merrill says he is jelous that you are in pennsylvania! He went on his mission in pittsburg and loved it out there!
I'm glad you have a blog! It's so fun to keep in touch with everyone. I'm glad to see that your darling baby is okay. What cute boys you have!
Erin I'm so glad you found my blog--I just sent you an invite. I can't believe how big your little NOah is and that you have another baby too! I'm glad to hear that he's going to be okay!!
