A dear readers the phrase a let me give you a hand is a fairly common expression. But when ifs used in a literal context ifs unique. Allow me to introduce you to Brett Ellison. She san exceptionally Bright talented 12-year-old girl who plays the cello. Nothing uncommon about that. Many 12-year-Olds play musical instruments but Only a few do so with a prosthetic Arm. Brett was born with Only a partial left Arm a she is missing the hand and forearm up to the Elbow. If you were to meet Brett you would quickly note that she does no to see herself As being different from people who have All their limbs intact. Her body image is fantastic. In fact Brett chooses to Wear her prosthetic Arm Only when she a playing the cello. For that she needs to have two hands a one to Finger the notes on the strings and the other to draw the Bow. For playing baseball or soccer she does no to Percy Ross bother with harnessing on her prosthesis. So far what in be described is a healthy a both physically and emotionally a 12-year-old girl.

I began this column by using the phrase a let me give you a hand a and that a exactly what the Kessler Institute for rehabilitation located in Livingston n.j., has done for Brett. In speaking with one of the Heads of prosthetics Jack Hodgins its quite a limb that Brett is going to receive. The silicone liner will allow her to do without the harness which was previously needed to keep the prosthesis in place. The hand grip Force will equal that of a human hand and Overall cosmetically the new limb looks so natural that Brett May opt to Wear it for More than just playing the cello. Brett Ellison is a special girl a not just because she wears a prosthesis and plays the cello but because she was adored by the Media. And because the Kessler Institute so generously donated Brett a new Arm in be earmarked $15,000 of my Money so another child who Isnit As fortunate As Brett May receive the prosthesis that will allow him or her to achieve whatever dreams that child chooses to pursue. Who knows maybe it will be the Arm for a child whose ambition is to be an orchestra conductor a the very one from whom Brett takes her Cue. You May write to Percy Ross clo Winnipeg free press .
