Slow progress May 18-23

We went back to our chiropractor on Monday May 18th.  She adjusted a spot between his shoulder blades.  His Atlas was moving fine.  She doesn't feel the dizziness is from anything she can fix.  She suggested we come back in two weeks.  We used Deep Relief on his neck and he took Hyland's headache tabs several times.  I called the neurologist to see if I could get him in sooner.  She told me I was lucky to be getting in, in June that some people wait months.  Thomas hasn't been able to do any school since the end of April.  Granted we home-school and he's actually ahead but if he were in public school and unable to go then what?

On Tuesday the 19th, we tried Hyland's Migraine tabs, deep relief on his neck, rose on his feet and an Epsom salt bath.  We noticed a lump on the side of his neck.  I put a drop of Frankincense oil on it.  By bedtime he was talkative and happy even though his head still hurt.

Wednesday the 20th was another tough day, by afternoon he could no longer walk unassisted due to the dizziness.  I gave him children's Motrin.  At bedtime he said "EVERYTHING hurts; my head, stomach, legs and I'm dizzy".  So sad and hurting for him.

Hugging with Daddy when he got home from work

Thursday the 21st, we had a 45 minute "rest time" where I hugged him in his bed late morning.  He was happy most of the afternoon.  I used Deep Relief and Rose on him. At bedtime, he did ask for a cold washcloth for his head but he didn't complain.

Drawing with chalk was something fun he could do.  He loves to draw Ninja Spy eggs and monster trucks

Friday the 22nd, he woke up around 7:45 a.m. happy and walking normally!   All in all he had a good day and was even able to make a short trip to Meijer with me to pick up cake mix and a few other things for his upcoming birthday party.

Saturday the 23rd he told us that his headache and dizziness rated less than 1/4 on a 1-10 scale.  He makes us laugh with his fractions.  But what I think he was telling us was that he felt pretty good but there was still a little pain going on.  We continued with the Rose and Deep Relief.  He even played outside- no running but he got to walk around and get some fresh air.  At night he was REALLY tired but he could not get to sleep.  It was 9:30 p.m. before he settled down after I snuggled him.
