As somebody who also suffered from Erbs Palsy in my left arm, it's interesting to finally meet somebody who has the same injury as me.
Your explanation of the injury sounds nearly identical to mine, and I wasn't breathing for nearly 4 minutes as well.
In my case, my forearm, wrist and finger mobility remains identical, but I have limited rotation within my shoulder (Unable to hold my arm out straight, or rotate my palm flat). I know I was very very lucky in my recovery in that my problems are minor/only aesthetically different.
Are you able to touchtype with both hands? What is your finger/wrist mobility like? I can see from the video you need to support your arm to lift it up
Did your parents do assisted exercise with you when you were a baby (Like wheelbarrows etc) to try build up strength? How far into your life did you continue physiotherapy treatment/if at all?
Did the doctors tell you what arm should have been your dominant at all? I know in my case, I should have been left handed if I wasn't affected by my Brachial plexus injury.
This is a silly one, but do you grow back hair/chest hair? I know in my case I have less hair on the left side of my body compared to my right :P
