Update on Joey

Well, many of you may or may not know, but Joey has a slight case of Plagiocephely. The word sounds a lot worse than it actually is, thank God...basically he has a flat spot on his right side of his head. The flatness was caused by a condition called Torticollis, which he probably received either in the womb (being so big and wedged in my tummy) or during delivery (again big head=hard to pull through the incision of my C-section...a little tense time during delivery)...this condition is Torticollis, which is a tightening of his neck muscles on the left side of his neck. Due to the tightness of the muscles, he has always favored the right side of his head and "voila"...a flat spot.
Thankfully, this is not life threatening, nor is it unfixable (is that a word???). We have an appointment with the Plagiocephely clinic on November 19th and we'll find out what the next step will be. More than likely, he'll have a corrective helmet/band that he'll have to wear for a while to allow his head to "pop back out!"
We are so thankful to God and to Joey's pediatrician and physical therapist for being so on top of the game....AND that his case is a relative mild one. We'll keep everyone updated as to his prognosis after his appointment on the 19th.
Say a little prayer for our little guy....
