Update on the Lizza's little leggies

Lizza had her second visit to the tetragenics chiropractor yesterday. She hated it. She screamed from the minute we walked in the waiting room. Oh dear! It was not cool. She really hates Dr. Olsen, which is so sad because I love him so much and think he is a genius. He was able to adjust her a little, but she was too upset to do any of the muscle work he is famous for. But here is the update: after the lady visit, she started scooting forward on her bum within about 15 hours of the appointment. Then after a few days, she didn't really progress anymore. A few days after that she went back to not scooting much at all. This morning after yesterday's appointment, she is scooting again and scooting around in a little circle to play with different toys. Dr. Olsen said the alignment between her lower back and left hip is still not right, but he doesn't have all the resources to full diagnosis and treat and screaming baby. (that was a paraphrase, I course.) Our plan before yesterday was to take her to him every week for about a month and then start pediatric occupational therapy if she was still up able to stand or move around. We still might stick to the plan, but it is hard when I know she is not getting all Dr. Olsen can give. It also makes me things about her spirit, her thoughts and her cellular emotions and how they play into this process. I want to give her every chance to stand and walk ... When she is ready, but it is hard to find the balance between fixing and forcing. I am hoping that some warm weather and some time outside with help her connect to her own body and feel peace in all aspects of this process. It takes faith to create space where a 11 month had at least a little control and I, as mama, am on with that. But I think it is something I want to work on. She already is who she is maybe there is a lot she is already trying to tell me.

So that is the update -- from all voices and all extremes. I also called the pesiatricians office. Thy didn't really listen, and then they said we'll talk about it at the 12 month visit. So we raly are looking at this from all angles.

You can do it, baby Lizza!! We love you and just want you to be happy. Maybe dozens of punk pancakes is all the happiness you need!! :)
