A quick update...

Last week Little Lady had her occupational therapy (physical therapy). It went well. The therapist commented on what a dramatic difference Little Lady had made with her torticollis... that now when she is laying down flat, she is capable of holding her neck at "center line" without the tilt. She can also turn her head, chin to shoulder, at 45 degrees, so she's half way there :) I attribute this not only to the stretching that we've been doing at home several times a day, but also to our AMAZING Chiropractor.
Today, is our big day of the 2nd opinion Orthopedic appt. I am hoping and praying that we get some answers today, and a Dr. that seems more willing (and wise) to help my Little Lady. I am... stuck, emotionally. Part of me is like "Don't get worked up, it's just another appt". But then there is another part of me that is just so hopeful that some really good will come from this appt. Some more aggressive treatments that can make a big difference. Time is of the essence with her type of condition, and the sooner we treat it, the more likely we are to get good results. I'm so scared that I'm going to drive all the way down there, and have another Dr that wants "to wait until she's a little  bigger."
So I guess, really, I am so hopeful, yet so scared, all at the same time. I know that God hears my heart, and I trust that He will find us a way through all of this... I just hope He doesn't make us wait much longer.
