I know this is being posted back to back, but a lot happened between our diagnosis and now ... it would be rather confusing to have to all in one post.
Anyhow, A has had two appointments with Dr. J. The goal of KST Technique is to remove the blockages in the body that are keeping the body from healing naturally.
At our first appointment, Dr. J asked all sorts of questions about my pregnancy, labor and delivery. First, A was "stuck" in my pelvis for about five months of the pregnancy. A good chiropractor would have been able to un-stick her, had I know to ask but alas, the chiropractic care I was receiving seems to have been sub-par. So sad.
Secondly, it seems that a child's head will collapse on itself and then "pop" out again when it is being delivered. The cranial bones will shift to be as small as possible and then return to the correct shape. Amazing! Anyway, it seems like A's head did not shift to come easily through the birth canal--hence the massive number of stitches.
After our first appointment, A's head showed significant change in the temporal bones (above the ears). Before the appointment, they were flat against the head and after the appointment they bulged out over the ears, which definitely looked funny. After our second appointment, the frontal bones began to bulge out as well. We have another appointment tomorrow morning.
Dr. J informed us at the start that we're looking to slowly unlock the sutures in the order her body is ready to unlock them. Slowly, we're hoping to unlock all of the sutures in the head so that the sagittal suture (along the top of the head) will be able to move freely.
Finally, we are Catholic and we're praying for the intercession of blessed John Paul II to "un-stick" A's saggital suture so that she can avoid surgery. John Paul the Great, pray for us!
