She will wear the soft collar 4-5 times a day for 5-10 minutes, moving on to 10-15 minutes. During this time, she will not wear her cranial band. Hopefully this, paired with the physical therapy I do, will correct her torticollis and she won't require surgery. We go back in two weeks for a follow up.
I need to put a video of Natalie up. Every 3.5-4 hours, she starts to really talk saying "baba mama, baba mama". Well today, she drank her baba and after a few minutes said "baba mama" again. I went to the pantry and pulled out some bananas, and she kicked her feet and smiled. Apparently, ALL food is a "baba" for her!
And I am almost done with this school year - yipee!! Tomorrow if our first exam day, our 8th grade dance, Friday is 8th grade day, and then Mon-Thurs are exams and some half days. I am SO SO ready to spend this summer with my girlies. We have SO many fun things planned.
Oh, and I won a really awesome twin book from one of my favorite blogs, Multiples & More (see blue button on the side)! Make sure you check them out.
Poor sweet Audrey...hope this "fix" fixes her soon! Natalie cracks me up...it's like she just knows what she wants already!

Poor Audrey! My fingers are crossed that the band and PT will fix the issue! Like I mentioned in the other post, PT worked for my cousin's son for the very same issue.
ReplyDeleteYay for school almost being over! I don't think I could be a teacher, but the summer vacations surely make it tempting!
I really hope audrey improves from the band too! The girls are getting so big it is precious!
ReplyDeleteAwww poor baby! I hope everything works out for you guys! You're girls are so cute and you're such a great mom!
ReplyDeleteShe's just showing early signs of needing to be an accessory kind of girl! Good thing she seems to have patience with it all!
ReplyDeleteJust curious since my son has torticollis too! Audrey doesn't have PT come out to your house? My son has a PT come 1 to 2 times a week to work on it with him. He has been getting this since he was 6 weeks old. I actually asked my dr if this requires surgery and he told me no.
