Anyway... we went. I was prepared for the anti vax talk. I don't talk about my views on vaccines. I don't preach them. I vaccinate. That's all. My dad being an immunologist/mircobiologist/pathologist led me down this path, also a lot of reading. That's where I'll leave it. So I went there and knew she'd bring it up. Most chiro's are anti dairy and anti vax, at least the four or five I've been to.

So Odin loved her immediately, she observed for quite some time and we discussed Odin's torticollis and traumatic birth and so on. She mentioned vax and I heard out and then she moved on to allergies I can't see. No snot, no rash, no stomach upset. She said perhaps some internal non obvious allergies could be part of Odin's CAS and SPD. She mentioned an allergist. I took that information and considered it, then we moved on to an adjustment. Odin did awesome. I believe in adjustment as it has work so well for me. 15+ years of competitive sports and heavy book bags did their damage, but I'd hardly know except this damn hip flexor (sp).

She was great with a lot of what she said and I definitely noticed a difference in is evening behavior when we got home yesterday.

We go back Wednesday afternoon. Her price was so amazingly fair. She fit right into my budget for extra alternative treatments.

I am trying to find 175$ to take Odin to a homeopathic doctor who will do a series of treatments that have really complicated explanations but have worked wonders on a friend's kid with severe allergies.

We went back and forth over cutting gluten and dairy. Then of course supplements. I ordered supplements from vitacost. He'll need quite a bit of DHA 3, 6 and 9 and vitamin E and choline. I'm struggling to find something with enough choline so I am looking for foods I can trick him into eating. We're going to start with supplements. We'll see how that goes and move onto dietary stuff. I am approaching this at all angles.

Positives:

"wake up mommy" as he tries to pick me up out of bed and rips the covers off of me.

Ran frantically out of his room when he woke up from his nap and verbally asked for food!!!! No 30 minute crying fest!
