Levi was diagnosed with torticollis at his 4 month check up. It is just a fancy way of saying he can't turn his head very well to the left side. There is no way to tell how this happened...it could be from the way he layed in the womb to just liking to look right. His head is getting a little flat on one side. His muscles are tight on that side as well. To compensate for his head always being tipped to one side, he also is tipping his pelvis. If not corrected, that could lead to problems trying crawl or walk. He has a very mild case of torticollis which will be easily corrected (some babies get stuck to one side and scream in pain...he can turn left, he just doesn't like to) with therapy and us working with his at home. We go to therapy twice a week. It makes for a busy week, but I am glad we found it.
