Tally's Crooked Head

After much frustration in getting trying to schedule an appointment to have her head looked at, we have success! We cannot and will not complain our insurance, as we are so thankful to not have to worry about any bills. But sometimes the process, just to be seen for a special appointment, can be more work and take many more days than I think is necessary. We saw the physical therapist 3 weeks ago today and this is the first day I have been able to schedule the next appointment. We had seen the doctor last Monday, but that was just in preparation for this appointment. And since we have no more time, he had to call for an ASAP appointment and we are able to go in on Wednesday. She will have an ultrasound done on her neck to look at the bump he feels on her muscle. This should tell us what it is. He still thinks congenital torticollis, but if not then maybe a branchial cleft cyst. But since he respects the phyical therapist and she saw no sign of torticollis, then he wants to confirm what she has. Either way, he thinks it isn't much to worry about, but this way we will know for sure before we take her out of the country! Immediately after that appointment, we have an appointment down the hall with the Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist. He wanted to have them look at the results and have another pair of eyes/hands take a look at her. We will update later this week.
