As you can see, Kellyn's head looks nice and straight while lying down. Maybe she's showing off for her big brother. |

Torticollis Physical Therapy Re-evaluation
Kellyn had her eight week re-evaluation with her outpatient physical therapist today. Kellyn must have known she had to perform because she was having "a good torticollis day." Anyways, the physical therapist noticed continued improvement in her muscle strength and flexibility. She was also happy to see that Kellyn's head tilt was negligible while lying on her back.

Overwhelmed with the Treatment Process
The past couple weeks has been pretty hectic for our family. Ryan's back has been really bothering him and he is pretty limited to how he can help with the kids or with housework. Unfortunately, he is now unable to help me get Kellyn's in-home exercises done, so its solely up to me to make sure this gets done. Also, we have been spending a lot of time researching and shopping around for a new car since our car got totaled from the car accident two weeks ago. In addition, we have also had so many things like doctor's appointments and various commitments to go to.
With so much going on, its been tricky to get in the recommended minimum of five sets of physical therapy in-home exercises for Kellyn. I feel that Kellyn's head tilt has gotten worse recently because I haven't been working with her as frequently at home. Regardless of what else is going on, I need to remind myself daily to make her in-home exercises a priority. Most days, I find it unrealistic to get all five sets of her exercises done, while also attending to daily household responsibilities and taking care of my family's needs. Each day, I feel like I can't win no matter how hard I try.
