Guest guest Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Hi. I am new to the group. I have a 5 month old baby girl named Charlene that was diagnosed with Plagio flattening on the back right side of her head and Tort on the left side of her neck. We went for our casting today and are supposed to get our helmet in 2 weeks. We are doing stretches on her neck but I am confused as to what exactly the Tort is? If she is laying on the back right of her head, why would there be tightness in the left side of her neck? You'd think the left side of the neck would be more stretched out instead... confusing. I read all your emails and feel well informed and supported! I am pretty sad about the whole thing and can't wait to get this over with and it hasn't even started yet! I am glad I am not alone. I hate the thought of people staring at my baby like there is something wrong and I also hate the fact that doctors don't make more of an effort to tell first time parents like me what can happen with their heads flattening because of being on their backs. Trying to hold back the tears here in California, Deanna (daughter Charlene, 5 months old) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
