Symptoms

Let us recap what we know. Chloe was born with a generalized weakness on her left side of her neck and left shoulder. Her rapid growth made the problem worse. Floppy infant is a symptom of a neurological problem but there are many so figuring out which it was took time. She needed rehabilitation to meet all her milestones which she did. For her to smile and keep her eyes open on photos is quite an accomplishment.
The facial nerve problems also can create sensory problems with this treatment we see lessen.

Our goal now is to figure out if the pain can be triggered by any arm or head movement while showing Chloe the pain is not there anymore. Chloe will be working on stretching and coordinating arm movement with a personal trainer at the YMCA. We having been doing this already so the trainer will be the next step which she starts in November. We are doing community activities like picking up items we need around the house and going out to eat working or walking with street light. So far building Chloe's confidence in herself has been a big issue but improving daily.

So far so good!
