Kim and Jess - to

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the doc names . I am going to call them tomorrow.

Jess is doing great. If you recall, Jess started tilting the

opposite direction than her original tort. We had her to many PTs

who could not make sense of this. Finally, we found one who spent

much time just watching her and realized that her muscles in her back

and shoulders were weaker on one side and the tilt was not due to

tort now but that. SO we have been working on her upper body

strength and the tilt has almost totally corrected.

I have added to recent pics of Jess and her sis to Jess's file. THe

one where the girls are in pigtails shows that we can barely tell the

difference btw the two. I know where to look but in this pic, the

asymmetry to her face is not noticeable. In the black and white

photo, the angle shows a little asymmetry of the eye that is

remaining but nothing I can lose sleep over. We are so lucky.

Take care to all. Tell Debbie I said hi.

Kim,

The girls are gorgeous!! It's a good thing you kept on pushing to

find out what was going on with her tilt. I'm glad it's almost

resolved. Let me know how they make out with the docs I told you

about.

Thanks . You're very sweet. They are such little people now as

I am sure you know. They are just growing so fast. I had to call a

friend of mine that worked at Childrens Memorial here in Chicago and

ask for help with the tilt. She called one of her friends who is a

PT and she made her promise to figure out what was going on with Jess

and not to tell me it was nothing. I had already seen the head of

the ped orthopedic group and he had said she was just fine, just a

bit uneven. ugh.......You know how that sat with me.... Anyway, I

will let you know how Conner is doing and post some pics soon. Take

care.
