Kennady Thornton is 1 year old, and has been undergoing physical therapy since she was only 8 days old. 

Kennady has a condition known as Brachial Plexus Palsy (BPP), which occurred during her birth.  BPP is a form of Erbs Palsy, and it controls the nerves that send signals to the shoulder, arms and hands.   In Kennady's case, the nerves in her neck are damaged, making her unable to move her right arm.  The therapy is expected to correct her condition, however, many children who have suffered this injury during birth have lifelong damages.  

What some do not know, however, is that this condition is preventable.  

There are things doctors can do to prevent these happenings.
