Torticollis

We noticed a few days ago that Claire favors turning her head to look to the right....we had her 2 month well check a week ago but neither us or the Dr. noticed anything. A couple days later we saw that she was looking to the right way more than the left and when you tried to force her the other way, she faught it. I started to worry that she had torticollis (which means twisted neck) or that she couldn't hear me on that side. Well, I decided to play it safe and took her to the pediatrician. So glad I did b/c he said she does have a little torticollis. This just means that her neck muscles on one side are tight and need to be stretched out. So, we will start physical therapy with her soon to work on this. The good thing is, she has a really strong neck and holds her head up well and does go to the left, just not as much.. AND, she sleeps on her belly and she doesn't just sleep on the side that she turns too, she does both so that is great. Just keep her and us in your prayers as we work toward getting this healed.

Here are some recent pics of the kiddos to enjoy :)
