The chiropractor and Angels among us….

I tried to blog the other day but failed to save and my server disconnected, so I learned my lesson and here I go!

We went back to the chiropractor today and went over the MRI of Scott’s neck, you know the one that the neurologist said was “normal”. It was clear to see that the bulge in his disk is putting a dent in his spinal cord and it can explain a lot of what is going on with his symptoms. The chiropractor has a decompression machine that he would like to use to help him. It entails him going in 5 days a week for 6 weeks and he will do the machine for 30 minutes, get physical therapy and massage. He feels that the disc still has a good chance to heal if we go this route. It is going to cost us $4600. It is still unclear how we can pay for this given our current financial situation. They have financing that is available through Chase that can help, however I am not sure if our credit will be okay to get us approved for it. It is a 0% interest line of credit they offer for medical stuff. If not that then we hope they will let us do a lien on the settlement that we are hoping to get from the accident. I know in my heart that the chiropractor has already begun to help and I feel this treatment would really help heal his neck the rest of the way. Please send prayers that we get approved for the financing! Keep fingers crossed!

I do know that Angels walk among us. Today we went to pay for his office visit and I was going to have to have them hold my check because work was slow this week. When we arrived at the front desk the girl just gave me the biggest smile and told me that someone had already paid for our visit today and we were all done! I just about cried. I just wish I knew who was responsible for doing this. She wouldn’t tell me who. Just the nicest thing to do. If you are reading my blog, thank you and lots and lots of love, it means so much right now! 🙂

It has been a better week. Scott seems to be feeling pretty well and he looks good. He stands straighter and has only had 2 choking episodes in the past couple of weeks since seeing the chiropractor. This is just such a huge relief. It is very hard to see him struggle. It is nice to see him working on the lamp he is making me and he has begun drawings for a friend who wants a lamp done as well. It is good to see him happy doing what he loves most.

I have been working on finding balance. Slowly I am beginning my studies to become certified in EDS. It isn’t easy to find time for this. I was staying up later blogging and reading and then I was finding myself sleeping late and missing my runs. This isn’t going to work for the long run so instead today I got up early and read a bit after I went for a run. The kids have been pretty good about giving me a little space today, that has been good. I feel like I have so much that I have to do. I find peace when I run and when I go to a yoga class I find that I can center and breathe. I am not sure how it will all work out but right now everything is good and I’m staying with that.
