Thank you - I would really appreciate that!! I talked to her PT

today and told her she was going to have to figure out some new

stuff for Neely b/c she is impossible to stretch now. She twists

and turns and I'm not going to try and force her when she does

that. I'm afraid I'll hurt her neck! Poor Neely is having a bad

week. Her bottom 2 teeth are finally coming in which is making her

extremely irritable, she has people sneaking up on her pulling on

her head and neck and little does she know but she will soon have to

go through the whole process of making her helmet! But anything you

can give me on stretching her neck would be helpful.
