ophthamologist update...


The ophthalmologist was the last of the specialists we had to see to rule out any ocular issues that may be causing Josiah's torticollis. Doc said that sometimes when there's double vision, a tilt will occur to attempt to compensate the skewed vision. Fortunately, Josiah's eyes are fine and the doc said she didn't see any evidence of double vision, but she wants to see him back in 4 months just to stay on top of his eyes and make sure there's still no evidence of double vision.

So at this point, all options for other causes of Josiah's torticollis have been ruled out. It's just a matter of physical therapy and working on strengthening his neck muscles to get rid of his tilt. So grateful for this clarity. =)
