Physical Therapy Appt.

So it has been 3 weeks since we took Melanie into the physical therapist, and in that 3 weeks she has made AWESOME improvement.
Her torticollis (tightening in her neck on her right side) is now gone.
She can now lift her head off of the ground and look at you.
And her flat head isn't so flat anymore. When we first went in, her head had a 10mm difference from one side to the other and it is now down to 5mm. They like it to be below 3mm. We could totally tell her head was looking better, rounder I guess. And we only used the Rice sock positioning during her naps during the day. So this is awesome news that she went down that much in 3 weeks. 
She is also putting weight on her feet and she is grasping at toys and playing with them. The therapist said she is a new person since last time she saw her. So proud of our little girl, we go back in another month and things should be looking even better by then.
