New member here, in Texas

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone. I just wanted to introduce myself, since I just joined a couple

days ago. I'm 26 years old, live in East Texas (near Tyler/Longview), use

the CT office in Dallas, have been married 5 years, have 2 kiddos (3yr old

girl and 7 month old boy), 1 himalayan, 1 german shepard, and 1 appendix

quarterhorse, lol. I'm also a pediatric nurse and work full time. We have

been driving to Dallas once a week, which is 3 hours one way, for my son

Caleb, who started in a DOCband last month for severe plagio. He also has

mild torticollis. He fights us on the neck stretches that were prescribed,

and we just got an order last week to start physical therapy twice a week.

So, we are a busy bunch. Wow, if I'd of know what I was in for the first

time the doctor said " Well, his head looks a little flat, let's try

repositioning and go from there " I sure would of liked to of known about you

guys. This is a wonderful source of information and support, and I'm looking

forward to being a part of the group. We had a terrible time with the whole

process of getting referred for a diagnosis of plagio (not the doctors fault,

his nurse couldn't get him an appointment till he was going to be almost a

year old with a neurosurgeon). So, took matters into my own hands (anything

for my babies, lol), called Cranial Technologies, they gave me the # of a

craniofacial surgeon, and here we are one month later. Everyone at the

Dallas office has been wonderful and we are grateful for all their help.

Caleb has adjusted wonderfully to his band, and has even started fussing when

it is off at night when he gets tired. It's like he won't go to sleep

without it. Well, I know this was a long intro, but I'm excited to meet

everyone! Anyone else live near me? Charleen (Texas)
