Lots have happen since my last update! Now that we are straightening these issues out finally getting back to  updates:

The first step in our daughter's recovery was to stabilize her sleep to achieve good quality sleep and addressed focusing issues. Her neurologist prescribed medications that works.

Then our daughter got an MRI that showed a bulging disc between C6 and C7 which suggested a pinched nerve. The occupational therapist felt the area and suggested I ask the Doctor if we can assume it is a pinched nerve. Since the MRI showed the problem we can use pinched nerve to describe it.

Now that we understand the problem we are working together to better describe it and figure out where the headaches start. So here is what we think if she raises her left arm over her head and rotates the elbow and fore arm she experience noticeable pain over the left side of her forehead and temporal area. Raising her arm over head to stretch without rotation we do not see quick on set of a headache on the left side of her head.

We are figuring  out ways of testing the right arm overhead to make sure we do no see quick on set of headaches when we use the right arm over her head.

This is where we are at so far!
