Physical Therapy Visit #1


Yesterday Mali Su went to her 1st physical therapy session for her torticollis. While there the physical therapist evaluated her situation and taught us stretches to do with her at home. Upon evaluating her he found that her head was off by 11mm (avg is 4mm), her ears are off (one more fwd than the other) and that one eye is higher/lower than the other and that the top of the left side of her skull is elevated. NOW I know this makes my child sound pretty funny looking but in reality NO ONE is completely symmetrical (no matter what Hollywood tries to tell you)

So now we have weekly physical therapy sessions to evaluate her progress. We will see how this first month or so goes and if there is not enough improvement they will want to try more methods than just repositioning and stretching.

As you can see in this picture I took while typing this she is PERFECTLY beautiful!!!

    Don't feel bad, she's the cutest girl ever, and I'm sure my face is funny. I have a big nose.

    That'll be great if everything is corrected with just physical therapy, and not something more serious. Hopefully, she won't have to go too many times.

    She's soo cute and looks perfectly symmetrical to me! That's funny because I seriously would have never seen those "milimeters" of a difference and still don't. I hope she is doing well, good luck w/ the physical therapy.

20 Weeks

Today we had the opportunity to go in for our 20 week ultrasound. We are excited to announce that baby #3 is a healthy BOY! We are excited but have to admit we are a bit nervous. Change is hard and after two girls this is definitely a change. It will be a fun and wonderful experience. I have already thought about little boy ACUs and PT clothes (little army clothes) and what I will decorate the "boy" room in etc. I have always heard boys are "easier" but more rambunctious so I guess we will just have to see. I was excited that during the ultrasound our little boy was crossing his legs at the ankle like both his sisters do! So funny! We will keep y'all posted on names and other developments.

Halloween 2023

 We pulled off our best Halloween!  Possibly ever!  Jake had a vision and it came true beautifully.  He even had the cutest song he sang.  I loved our last Halloween in our Hurst home.

sometimes life may get you down

but then you remember how wonderful you husband is and it makes it all ok. Jake surprised me by ordering these gorgeous handmade pearl earrings from TINY STORM for me for Christmas and they were waiting for us with all our mail when we arrived back home after vacation. He got down on one knee and presented me with these earrings and it brought tears to my eyes. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful, hardworking, and loving husband who is always there to take care of me and love me when I am having a rough time. Thank you Jacob!
