Look at this, two posts, back to back ... wow!
After more reflection on our month, I have to admit that I am nervous/worried/scared/etc. I guess every parent has normal concerns about their children but I it just hit home that having a complication on top of just raising a child is harder that I anticipated.
We've moved several times over the past year, had a baby and recovered from mold exposure and I think we're finally a bit more stable. Fortunately and unfortunately, it's given me the ability to reflect and realize that I actually have been avoiding truly facing our decision about surgery and how that could affect A long-term. Like, I'm avoiding pluming the depths of my emotions and soul to feel how that feels ... ah, feelings, how I can loathe thee at times! Thou art so powerful!
As I looked at her head last night, I thought "man, I hope you're hair grows in soon ... because your head is just funny shaped." I feel in my gut that she's going to be fine but I still wonder how this will affect her and how everything will turn out in the end. If anything, her personality points me to believe she's going to make the best of anything.

And that was June ...
Well, it seems that the month of June just slipped through the cracks here at our house. I'm currently starting a practice (www.redemptivenutrition.com) and the hubby is starting with new students. Lots of exciting things but little time for extras.
But the newest and most exciting thing to happen in our house since sliced bread is ... THE red light!!! That would be infrared sauna therapy. Basically you shine several chick brooder lights on your bare skin and it promotes detoxification. It also promotes blood circulation to the area on which it shines--which is a huge plus for A.
We saw dramatic improvements in A head shape after shining it on her for just ten minutes. We do several five minute sessions daily.
We've also started her on a supplement protocol, which is less successful because it's just hard to get the huge amount of supplements in here in the morning and at night. Which is no excuse really.
Overall, I think we've come to the conclusion that we are not opting for surgery at this point and will continue with alternative methods of healing.
Keep prayin' y'all!
