We have a new addition to the Wilson family....

The Wilson house has been crazy for the past couple of weeks!!! Bryson started 2nd grade yesterday and we have been busy buying school supplies, meeting his teacher, and trying to get back on a "normal" schedule. We also have a new addition, we have a minature winnie dog named Lexie! she is so cute and sweet with the kids!! Adell had an appointment with Orthopedic Services yesterday. We had noticed that her STAR Band had really irritated the back of her head (at her hair line). It wasn't just a little red but blood red!! Joel at Orthopedic Services made the proper adjustments in the back and then noticed that in the front on the right side her STAR Band needed to be tighter in that area. He viewed her scan from her last visit and was very impressed by the improvement!!! He said that we still had a little more improvement on the right side (forehead) area. But he did not think it would be too much longer. We go see Elizabeth tomorrow morning at Kidnetics for our Physical Therapy appointment. Adell is doing great with her visits with Elizabeth and our "at home" PT that we do. She does still tend to favor the right side! Well I have to go help Bryson with math and reading homework and cook supper.

GREAT NEWS!!!!

We have recieved GREAT NEWS reguarding Adell's STAR Band Treatment!!! We had an adjustment and a scan yesterday at Orthopedic Services. Adell is now in the 4 to 5 range!!! Dale at Orthopedic Services said that was a HUGE difference from where we started!!! He was extremely pleased!! He said that Adell may only have to wear her STAR Band for one more month!!!! She is scheduled in 2 more weeks for another adjustment appointment and then 2 weeks after that they will do another scan and let us know. Dale did mention that Adell may have to only wear her STAR Band at night while she sleeps. We are so encouraged and extremely pleased with the results so far!!!! Adell sure has been a trooper with this journey!! After we visited Orthopedic Services yesterday we then went to see Elizabeth at Kidnetics for our physical therapy appointment. Adell is doing "ok" with the torticollis, but she still likes to favor that right side! Elizabeth will continue to see Adell every other week and I do different stretching exercises with Adell at home to help. Adell has had a very busy week. She is finishing up an antibiotic for a terrible sinus infection. Bryson has had vacation bible school this week and is loving it! And Emily is always wide open!!!! We went grocery shopping on Monday and she decided to throw a glass jar of spagetti sauce out of the buggy onto the floor!!! Needless to say it was a mess!!!! I will try to post new pictures hopefully this weekend, but for now I have endless stacks of laundry calling my name!!!
