Re: Finding a Dr,please HELP, Im loosing it

[Guest guest]

The torticollis usually causes the head rotation thus causing the

flat spot so if his flat spot is on the back right (looking from

back of head forward) then he has left tort and you would still want

him to rotate his head to the left. That way his range of motion

will be improved and his flat spot will not be making contact with

his mattress. Does that make sense?

I'm so sorry that you are going through all of this and with having

other children it must be very stressful. We are here anytime you

need to vent.

Hospital in Deleware, that is where we take Kaden for his cleft lip

and palate. They are very surprised that our ped. is refusing to

send Kaden for an Xray or MRI, they said that most likely they will

have to do an MRI.

side at night, since the right is flat, but then he moves so much,

and also we should be laying him on his right side because of the

tort, I am not sure which one to do! UGH!!!
