Guest guest Posted April 4, 2002 Report Share Posted April 4, 2002 I'm so glad to see this group - you all seem so supportive of each other!! I have a 4 1/2 week old, Evan, who appears to have plagio and mild tort as he pulled to the left for 2 weeks until I started the streches, and has a ridge on the left side of his head, is flat on the front right and back left, has a fuller cheek - and had a harder time openning right eye - this seems better?? the one thing I haven't seen mentioned is that his lower gums are uneven. I can only tell this when he cries. Has anyone else experienced this? We are going tomorrow to his ped. and I'm asking for a referral to a specialist in our area, Atlanta. The one point of confusion for me is that he seems to have pretty good control of his head, for his age!, is this normal? Also, since I've started the streches he will turn his head in all directions and does not always have the tilt. Is this normal for tort? Also, since he has flat places on the front right side of his head and the back lower left side, I'm uncertain how to reposition him. Any help or advice? I hate to wait until I see the specialist as this could be a few more weeks. Thanks so much for your responses!
