Happy 2013

Happy New Year! Hope 2013 is a much quieter year then the last two!
We needed to finish up some steps legally before I submitted the book to the final stage.

So far the treatment is promising some noticeable improvements. She is taking less pain medication about 50% less. She is able to identify when using her left arm  at the thrift store, the buzzing and tingling happens almost from the start. Pain is still there but medication and physical therapy has help to lessen it to the point where Chloe can now described what is happening without over reacting. We are now working on concepts that Chloe could not focus on due to the pain she was in, different, same and adapting to fast change in direction or incidents that happen like a box falling on the floor and she is expected  to help clean up. She is now able to listen to different for 30 mins on such topics history, conversations and climate. Also she is showing improve accuracy in all educational work she does at home.

This is where we started:
 Symptoms at Chloe’s birth were loose joints, low tone, and poor head control with difficulty initiate movement. Floppy infant is what this condition is called and could be caused by central nervous system dysfunction, or genetic disorders or even a muscle disorder. She had a general weakness on her left side of her neck and body so another possible reason was a stroke in the uterus.
