Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 My daughter is 4 1/2 months old and she has brachycephaly. The doctors are telling me that it is not so severe. She also has toricollis, which I can't seem to understand. Since she was two months old she has kept her head up during tummy time. She loves tummy time and has gone on to do it up to 30 minutes. We just ordered her a helmet and have discovered that she qualifies for early intervention. She has been going to physical therapy for a month. Can someone please explain to me what all this means? I am so confused. I think my daughter is great and adorable and now she has to go through all of this. I am having a hard time understanding and dealing with all of this. When does the anxiety end? I am not looking forward to her having the helmet on. Our society can be so cruel and I am anxious about taking her out. There is also part of me who blames herself. Maybe I had her in the carseat too much or lying down too much. Also, will this affect her development? I worry so much that she will be delayed later on in life. I am a teacher and I am so aware of kids development, will she be behind the other students because of this? I know that I am rambling, but I am just so confused and upset. Thanks for your help in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
