Physical Therapy

On Monday Parker went to the Pediatrician's office to get his neck looked at.  Ever since he was born he favors turning his head to one side.  I noticed that the muscle on that side bulges out.  I told my mom about it and she said to have the doctor look at it because it could be the start of Torticollis.  The doctor checked him out, said the muscle was tight and he referred him to physical therapy.  Today we went to the physical therapy appointment and the therapist showed me how to stretch his muscle and position him correctly.  I need to work on his neck for the next month and then go back for a re-evaluation.  The PT will follow him for the next couple of months to get the muscles equally strong.  The therapist has pictures taken at the appointment of him doing the stretches so I can follow them at home.

*** At his appointment on Monday he weighed 6lbs 11oz!!! He's gaining weight! I also got on the scale at the doctor office and I am half way back to my post pregnancy weight! :)
