Thanks to my husband  for his determination to get Chloe an Ipad. It has really helped get Doctors attention  on this left jaw issue which comes and goes depending how her body is positions.

Here is what we know so far>

Saw the TMJ secialist who looked at all the pictures I showed him and he then measured Chloe's ablity to open her mouth and how her right jaw joint seemed fine but the left jaw joint popped a lot. He said x-rays are the next step to answer if it would be surgery or physical  therapy would be the next step.

He said her forehead issue is possible another issue which is viral. 

Chloe also has a acute vision and hearing which could be a symptom of a loose or unattached jaw. He asked me to get her medical records including a statement from her eye doctor.

 The medication that made a difference in her responses may of cleared up the headache related to this problem which gave us a look at what was underlying problem .

Thanks to the YMCA for the exercises sessions  which  Chloe works with a person twice a week. Her  family doctor says it helps her asthma and now may of helped her handle theTMJ Doctor   detailed evaluation around her face region.

Her comments after the 60 minute appoint was, "I am not seeing this guy next week!" So we will wait a couple of weeks  and I will get her medical records together.

So we will keep you updated on our progress, Thanks to all who made this happen!
