Physical Therapy...
Today we took Will to physical therapy. He seems to prefer only sleeping with his head to one side, so the pediatrician wanted us to get his neck checked out. The therapist was great and gave us lots of exercises to do with him. She seemed to think that his head would get rounded out if we just work on the exercises. We are most likely going to go back to continue for follow up. There was one thing that we need to work on more though. It looks like Will is not visually tracking toys when you move them in front of his face. We know Will can see because he looks out the window when we drive and likes to look out the window at home. He also has just recently started looking at me more and just recently kind of smiled. The PT said that his delay in visually tracking might be that he can't see that close up yet and is only good at seeing far away. Either way, we are going to be watching this closely and will follow up in a few weeks. Please pray that Will will begin to visually track things better and that he will develop in a healthy manner. We appreciate all of your love and support!

You were busy with the posts today!! We'll pray that Will develops normally. It's good that you and his doctor are being proactive about his health and well-being, and your Doula sounds like a great resource. I think I've heard her name before; could be you've mentioned it or it could have been another mom-friend. :) Hope you are all well and we can get together again soon!
ReplyDeleteDid I ever tell you . . . I had to take Mason to a PT for the EXACT SAME THING! He was diagnosed with torticollis. I can still remember laying him on a blanket on the floor and doing those exercises. Sweet baby boy. Oh, and he's absolutely fine now! :)
