Well we have now completed the first 6mos of treatment for Liv, and we need to decide from here how we will continue. It's been reccommended that we continue weekly for the next 6mos. I'm hoping that we will be able to. Liv has progressed nicely, I need to upload some photos that we have of her to show different things that were looked at when she was first examined.
It's interesting how a little pinched nerve can cause so much chaos in the body. Her blocked tearduct that she had at birth after the first few adjustments has not come back so that has been really nice. Her mouth looks good, and most times you don't see the pulling on the one side of the mouth unless she is crying. Which is really great! I can't imagine what she would look like now if we hadn't started these treatments when we did. I trully feel if we had started at birth the results would have been even quicker. I was worried as I watched her through the first 7mos of life as her face changed and pulled more and more to the one side. It made it appear as though the opposite side was drooping, but it was actually that side that wasn't effected.
I'm also interested to see if this will effect her speech in any way as she gets older. She just had her 1st birthday in March and is saying Da-Da, Ma-Ma, kitty, and the kicker is that she tries to say her brothers name. Now this would not seem so interesting but his name is Isaiah and for most kids that name is not an easy thing to say. She doesn't try to say either of her sisters' names, just her big brother. But I guess perhaps that's because she's the only one that has the BIG brother! lol.
