Brachial Plexus Injury
Share this Story
My name is Tata and I am 5 years old. I live in Dakar, Senegal (West Africa). I was born with a brachial plexus injury and have been in therapy since I was born. Some therapies are not fun at all, but since I started working with Lorene and Katie at HSS, I enjoy doing Yoga and have fun working with them. My mom also noticed a lot of improvements on the use of my arm. I can't wait to accomplish my dream of swimming like a mermaid and using both of my hands like my friends do. I also love coming to the hospital for my therapy because when I am there I feel like a star! Both Lorene and Katie are miracle workers and I would love to take them with me to Dakar.
Thank you HSS!
