Jeremy and I took Vance to the physical therapy evaluation on Friday. It went well. They have diagnosed him with moderate torticollis. We left with several exercises to do at home and basic instructions. Vance will have weekly therapy appointments for about 3 months, and then he we go less frequently. We are confident that he is going to do just fine in therapy. According to a friend of mine, they will watch his development carefully until he walks because torticollis can affect development.
Speaking of development, my mom said that Vance rolled over a couple of weeks ago when she was here, but I didn't see it. Well, Vance rolled over from his tummy to his back 4 times in a row on Friday. It was so exciting to watch! Jeremy's mom and Amanda were here to witness it. My baby is growing up! Wouldn't you know that I got my camera out to video the event and then he wouldn't roll over again? I got a cute video of him on his tummy though. He is enjoying tummy time more now (except for those times he ends up vomiting).
Next week Vance will see a pediatric gastroenterologist for the first time. Jeremy and I have noticed the reflux getting worse and feel like we need a specialist's help. I will let you know how that goes. We are praying this doctor will be able to help Vance more than a regular pediatrician can.

Here is a photo of my boys. I just love them so much!!
So glad to hear you're getting the help that will hopefully make a difference. We just got back tonight. I'll be buried with going to the doctor and work stuff tomorrow, but I'll try and call to catch up. I want to hear about what all they said.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope to talk to you soon. You will have to read the post below this one about his 4 month visit. Since I started the post on Oct. 22, it posted Oct. 22. Maybe I could fix it, but I'm going to bed (where I should have been an hour ago...).
