Torti....What?

Tyler was born with a condition called torticollis. This meant that the muscles on one side of his neck were shortened, most likely due to be squished in the womb. My mom came to stay with me after Tyler was born and she pointed out how Tyler would only turn his head to the right.



After some effort to get his head to turn to the left, I finally took him to the chiropractor when he was 5 weeks old. The chiropractor adjusted him and had me start doing neck exercises with Tyler. Tyler HATED the exercises and I dreaded doing them with him, but we persevered.

Today we went to the chiropractor for the last time and got the good news that there's no trace of any problem!!!!

In hindsight I'm grateful for all of the one-on-one time I had with Tyler as we wrestled through those exercises. I'd intersperse the stretches with lots of songs, kisses and "Pat-a-Cake" type games. I wouldn't have had it any other way.

So in the end...

Torticollis=Lots of love
