News about Pierce



Love love love our little Pierce man! He is such a joy and such a blessing. I'm not quite sure if he is just an easier baby or if I'm just a better mom but it definitely seems easier this time around.

Recently our little guy got diagnosed with Torticollis and we had to start therapy at St. Mary's Wellness Center for therapy on strengthening is neck muscles. He has come so far!! See the pictures above? He just started being able to hold his head up. In addition to the therapy we've been constantly watching his head because he had a pretty bad flat spot due to the torticollis. Unfortunately we got word last week that we have to get him fitted for a helmet at Children's Hospital of Atlanta. It has just broken my heart. I don't know what to expect and I know that this is just a blip on the radar but no mommy wants to see their baby have to go through something like this. To ease the pain of the helmet, which I'm sure is not only going to be hard on mommy and daddy but probably Collin too, we were thinking of getting some fun stickers to decorate his helmet with. What do you think? Sadly, he could be in that thing anywhere from 1 to 4 months (maybe longer) and has to wear it for 22 hours a day. Please be thinking of our family during this time. Much love!
