Some of you may know that when Lily went for her 4 month check up, we told the doctor that Lily looks to the left a lot. The doctor diagnosed this as Torticollis, a tightening of the neck muscles on one side, that litter ally translates into "twisted neck." The doctor referred us to Mary Free Bed to a physical therapist for an evaluation (but sent us home in the meantime with stretches to do with Lily to help her stretch that tight muscle).
Our physical therapy appointment was yesterday and it went AWESOME. First they did see that Lily has a minor neck tightening problem, but think that with some PT, she will be looking both ways more consistently in no time. The therapist we saw, Jen, did an evaluation of Lily and then showed us stretches and activities we can do with Lily to help with her neck but to also work on rolling over from her back to her tummy. I am excited to work with her on these exercises.
After her round of PT yesterday, she ate and then completely passed out. I haven't seen her that completely asleep in awhile! She must have been exhausted from all her strength training!
Jen recommended that Lily come to physical therapy once a week for the next 6 - 8 weeks. Kyle is going to have to bring her to these appointments - I am so lucky that he is the best Dad in the world! We will keep you posted on her progress, and hopefully Kyle will take lots of pictures for me of her during her PT.
