~Mason update~

Update on my 2 year old Little Mason!

We I took Mason to a Chiropractor on Monday because he hasn't had a
full nights sleep for almost 2 months. He's never been a great sleeper
but its gotten worse as he has gotten older.
He has also had many unwanted ear infections.
I never really had an opinion on the Chiropractor.
I have never been to one myself.
I wasn't really sure what to expect.
But alot of people (family and friends) recommended he go.

Well after going on Monday I left there kind of feeling like a bad parent.
After Dr. Jim reviewed Mason's medical information I shared with him
he felt Mason's issues went way back to when he was an infant and his head was
tilted to the one side. He had a mild case of this.
(Danny has a cousin who's little boy had a severe case and needed surgery)

Here are a couple pictures to show you what I am talking about-
They call this Torticollis

You can see his head it slightly tilted.
I had a hard time finding pictures to show you.


We just went along with what our doctor said and did some home exercises to
stregthen Mason's neck muscle.
I just felt really bad on Monday that I hadn't even thought
about getting a second opinion on Mason's head being tilted as an infant.
We thought it fixed itself. However his muscle in his neck is super tight.
I could feel that one side of his neck was harder/ tighter than the other
when the Chiropractor showed me.

So Mason has went to Dr. Jim the Chriropractor 3 times this week!
He's only there about 10 minutes. Long enough for Dr. Jim to tweak his neck a bit.
 Mason is already sleeping better at night!
He goes back next Wednesday.
Hopefully he sleeps good until then.
