A treatment that actually worked!

This is absolutely amazing!  I really do wish we had gotten it done sooner, but I'm glad we were able to do it now.

Yesterday, Nick and I noticed Tristan was being slightly more tipsy than usual.  He had floppy newborn head.  Haha, okay, maybe not quite as bad, but his coordination in turning was terrible.  And when I looked closely, his neck looked different to me.  It looked.....smooth.  Hmm, I felt it.  It was soft.

I took him to Nick and told him to feel.  He looked at me with the same surprised face.  The tumor felt completely gone.  There was no tight ball of muscle in his neck.  Everything had evened out.

Wow.  It felt sooo weird, and yet it was super exciting!  Finally, the tension is his neck had been relieved, he can move his neck around freely.  It is amazing!  He was actually leaning his head to the left today, and I've never seen him do that.  Oh, I am so glad we pushed for this.  During all those silly tests, I knew his problem was just that tight muscle, he didn't have vision or hearing problems or a brain tumor.  It was just the dang muscle!  But like I said, even though I'm disappointed that it took six months for the doctors to finally listen to us, I'm glad that it happened.  Don't tell me to "just watch it"!  Now we can stretch him out without it hurting him, now he can work on strengthening the other side of his neck, now he can try and sit up and stand without being pulled to one side by that silly muscle.

Yeay for botox!

Back to his normal self and pulling clothes out of drawers
