comment: I am a regular viewer of Fox 4 and I have watched Hammerly

for as long as I can remember. I have seen several of his stories and I

wanted to ask about him doing a story on a condition that my 4 mo. old son

has. It is called Torticollis " Wry Neck " or " Twisted Neck " . The reason I

am wanting him to do a story on this is that alot of parents dont know

what to look for and it can cause even more problems if not caught early

enough. The signs are so easy to overlook and if I had not asked about my

son alway seeming to look to his right and his head being flat @ his 8 wk.

check up things could have been worse later on down the road. His

Torticollis has cause flattening of his head he has Moderate/Sever

Brachycehaly & Plagiocephaly. In some cases if these are left untreated

it can lead to correcting a residual deformity with painful surgical

intervention. There are good chance to that left untreated could lead to

lifelong deformities. I have met many parents lately that are dealing

with this with me and it is difficult. Insurance companies are claiming

the corrections with the DOC band (from Cranial Technologies) to be for

" Cosmetics " . When in most cases it is cause from conditions like

Torticollis. My son in in Physical Therapy now and we have tried

repostioning and nothing is helping. Our only hope is the doc band.

Which we are fighting for. However I am just wanting there to be a story

done to make other parents aware of these conditions and all of the

problems it can cause. The children are what I am fighting for . Please

consider doing some research and possibly a story on this. Thank You.
