Haley - Yours seems to be the same as mine was (bilateral palsy). Its pretty scary not being able to use your arms. I stayed in the hospital for 3 weeks for therapy, but it did not help much. I was discharged with very little assistance or guidance on how to do the basic things like take a shower. My left arm came back after about 2 months, but the right arm is still useless (some minor improvements). Hopefully, you get one arm back quickly also. I did go through OT, but I found it to be pretty useless. I had better luck finding ways to do things on my own. Your mind gets very creative when faced with challenges like this. You will get very frustrated, but keep up the fight. Keep telling yourself that it will get better (it will). Good luck. Keep us posted.
