Dallin's First Medical Problem

The bad news is, I don't get to post a cute picture of Dallin with a helmet on. The good news is he only needs Physical Therapy. Dallin has been diagnosed with Congenital Muscular Torticollis. This is when the muscle in the neck is damaged due to a tramatic birth. His head leans to one side and he cannot rotate it or hold his head up straight. Normally, they have to wear a helmet because it flattens the head on the one side, but we caught it soon enough. It's a good thing someone at my neices baptism saw him and came up to me and told me he had it because her daughter had had it. We love our Dallin with defects and all!!

I think all little boys should wear helmets. Always :)
