Happy Birthday to Me, Happy Birthday to me!



What a great day. Mommy and Daddy threw a great birthday party for me and I didn't have to wear my helmet all day long. That might have been the best part. Just kidding. I had a great time. I just loved my cozy coupe and my birthday cake. I am still wearing my CRO. My orthotist was able to adjust it so I can wear it for a bit longer. Hopefully another month or so, and I will be done!

May be closing in on the end of my CRO therapy.

I had a visit with my Orthotist again today. I am beginning to see more and more redness on my right forehead. There really isn’t much more foam to sand away. I think we are almost to the end of its run. Certainly, I am much closer to the end than the beginning. Even with it on for a short time now, My forehead is getting quite a bit irritated. Mommy and Daddy have been making me wear it less and less. OMG (sorry to drop that on you, but I couldn’t resist) what an improvement though. They can really tell when I’m in the bathtub and my hair is wet. Besides just a little shift forward of my right ear, the change is unbelievable. Thank goodness!

More PT, More PT. I think I can, I think I can!

PT again today and things are moving rapidly now. I have been standing up (leaning on something) for about a week now. It is not out of the ordinary for me to stand and shake my booty to Yo Gabba Gabba for ½ hour or so. Where have the days gone when Mommy and Daddy could just lay me down and know where I would be when they came back? Its very exciting. My head tilt is minimal now, and at times you cannot really tell that I ever had the Torticollis. Its difficult to imagine that I have been through all that I have. I am just thankful for all of the help that I have had from my PT, my Orthotist, my Orthomerica STARband and my Mommy and Daddy. What an amazing first year it has been.
