Yes I know what you mean about looking back. I look back at pictures

of Mya and even video and it was sooo obvious. I mean I never even

thought anything about her tort either. WHich was so obvious looking

at the video. I am holding the camera saying Mya look at Momma. Mya

Mya look at momma and shes looking at me with her eyes but her head

is not turning. I never even thought well maybe she cant turn it. She

went for 5 months without being able to turn her head and although by

then I was kind of thinking something was wrong. The doctors were

saying she was ok. So I though hey shes ok and didnt want to beleive

otherwise too I think. Her head was sooo flat but I was told oh head

just round out and no ones head is perfect. So I beleived them and

Ithink partly because I wanted to beleive them. Its just sooo weird

to look back and say Man I shouldve known! But what can you do its in

the past now and shes getting treatment now!
