Re: your child's neck & sleep positions

<t>This was one of the first ones our therapist talked about, if I'm thinking of the right muscle or tendon. Garrett had a head tilt to the affected side and for awhile turned that way, sleep and other. The worry was the neck would tighten to the point that he wouldn't be able to side tilt ear to sh...

Re: State Program Ads Stink!!!

<r>Bringing it to the top for the guest with questions.<br/> <br/> The program is based on disability. Our kids are considered low impact when only the arm/hand is affected.

State Program Ads Stink!!!

<t>Just a vent........<br/> <br/> Late nights with a 3 month old have made me a night owl. In between infomercials at 2am there was a commercial for California's Early Start Program. I've now seen 3 commercials for the program, all aired between 1 AM and 3 AM. <br/> <br/> Please tell me how many par...
