Good morning all. Zander had an ultrasound of his neck yesterday and then met with a doctor afterwards. The doctor told Marj and James that this is in fact torticollis (a swollen neck muscle). This doctor said that this was nothing to worry about and gave them some stretch exercises to do with him and says it will eventually go away. He will continue to get random ultrasounds until then to make sure it doesn't become anything else.
Meanwhile, they meet with Zander's physical therapist this morning at 10 for their initial consultation regarding his erb's palsey in his right arm. Hopefully, the physical therapist can give a little more insight into torticollis also. Both are birth injuries and are located on his right neck / arm.
Thankfully neither of these injuries cause him pain or bother him. He continues to grow - now weighing 8 lbs 7 oz (up two ounces from Monday).
They are still waiting on an appointment with a urologist to look at his belly button and see what / why it is leaking. The hopes are that this will happen before the end of the week so that the pediatrician has all of the reports when Marj and James take Zander back to her on Monday.
Thanks for your prayers. They are being answered.
