Thank you - Hospital Sites - Comments

[Guest guest]

To all of you who have overwhelmingly responded to my question on

hospital sites, thank you so much for you support.

I've been just out here lurking a bit. My daughter is so young right

now I feel I'm not quite " with it " when I read some of your messages

on your children. But I'm still here lurking and learning. I will

be posting questions as they pop up for sure.

Someone did post something about reflux a few days ago of which I

found quite interesting. Trinity has it pretty bad. She spewed all

over her daddy last night and they both had to change their clothes.

I can't say I didn't secretly find it funny, but I did. She's done

it to me before and he just poo poo'd it. Now he got a taste of his

own medicine. Ha! Ha! He told me she tried to take in 8oz out of

her bottle and she really only has about a 6oz tummy right now. She

is 6 months but only weighs around 11-12 pounds right now so she's

still really tiny. She definitely has quite an appetite. Her eyes

are bigger than her stomach for sure.

Trinity had a really good session at her physical therapy today for

her tortacollus (sp?). She's finally getting more mobility in that

neck so I'm hopeful in the next month or so she'll start rolling

over. She tries now but I think the tightness in that neck is

preventing her from doing so.

I will keep in touch and I will still be lurking and learning.

Take Care.

Our daughter also had torticollis when she was born. Several months of PT did

the trick in loosening it up. Is your PT having you do stretching exercises at

home? wouldn't tolerate these well when she was awake--I think they must

have been pretty painful for her. But we could do them easily with her when she

was sleeping, and she'd never wake up. When she was napping, we would lay her

across our lap and do a gentle stretch of the neck muscle for about 20 minutes

at a time. This really seemed to help a lot.

Hi !! Yes, they have given us exercises for her to do at home. I never

thought about trying her exercises when she was sleeping. I'll have to attempt

that. She is doing pretty well. She is moving her head from side to side

pretty well. The hardest movements for her are ear to shoulder. Poor baby.

Tummy time has been really good exercise for her. We have turned her so that

she has to look over her bad side to see what's going on on her floor mat, in

her swing and on her bouncy seat. Now if we could just get her to sit that

would probably help as well. We have taken her swing and put her in a sitting

position so she isn't laying back. I'm thinking this helps with her tummy and

neck muscles a bit as well. She has so much catching up to do with spending 3

1/2 months of her life in the hospital. I think her older sister helps with her

catching up physically and mentally.

Happy 4th!!

Take Care,
