Re: What to expect??

March 21, 2008

Hi -

We also drive 3 hours to our appointments, but luckily my in-laws

live there as well, so it's not too much of a hardship. Are you

going to a Cranial Tech? That's where we go. Because they knew we

were coming from out of town, they scheduled us for around 10:00

that morning, and then planned to have us come back 3 hours later to

do a check for red spots and any adjustments if necessary. We ended

up not going back that afternoon, since we had planned to stay

overnight anyway (I guess they mainly do that for people who are

coming and going in one day), and went in the next afternoon instead

for a minor adjustment (more to do with the way it laid on his one

ear, not for a red spot). But if you tell them that you're coming

from out of town, hopefully they can do something similar and

schedule you for a check a few hours later and hopefully you can get

some idea of whether an adjustment will be necessary by then. Are

you planning on staying overnight for at least one night? I would

think, especially if you have a DocBand (babies sleep in it the

first night), you should have a really good idea if you need an

adjustment by the next day, at the latest. (If you're getting a

StarBand, it might not be as evident if an adjustment is needed

since they don't stay in it for long periods of time for at least a

few days). I planned to stay several nights at my in-laws so that I

wouldn't have to make an emergency trip back, and ended up only

staying one night because my son did really well adjusting. So I

always say, plan for the worst and hope for the best!

Good luck with everything!

Yea we go to Cranial Tech. We also stay with my parents since they

live in the area They made our appoitment for 4pm on a friday so I

think I might call and change it like u suggested. I asked them

yesterday at his appoitment about the whold having to come back and

they said its not common but they will make sure it fits really

really good. So we will see what they say on Monday cuz we cant

afford any emergency trips since we dont have the money and my

husband cant get out of work since he is in the military. So i hope

they can change the appoitment.

Hi CArrie-

We didn't experience die-off.

I also had to continuously protect my youngest (still

sometimes do but not as bad) like you're doing ...

hang in there because it does get better. I used to

get so angry it was hard to manage, even though I knew

he couldn't control it. It was probably the most

difficult behavior I ever had to cope with. For

future, they're great friends now (at 6 & 8) and the

littlest is much better about standing up to him these

days, and empathy has improved a lot.

The Diflucan helped so much w/sensory issues and it

crossed over into how he reacted to the baby (crying

made him crazy) and he also got a little less stressed

at the baby coming toward him. Ultimately I credit

antivirals for doing the most underlying work but that

is far more subtle.

HTH - I hope you experience wonderful things.
