Today I took Katriona to two appointments for the double 'kapow' action on the fluid of her brain. The first appointment was Terry, a cranio sacral therapist. She was tops. I cannot rate her highly enough. She was kind, she was respectful, she was gentle and she - by just using her fingertips - confirmed everything that the neurosurgeon had suggested. How freaky! She suggested that Katriona's speedy arrival may have really stressed her and left her on an andrenaline high. She felt that the drainage tubes - she did give them a name - were compressed and therefore not able to drain the cerebral fluid very well. She also noted her sinus' were conjested and just this morning she started being a bit snuffly. What Terry said about the compressed drainage tubes ties in with the chiro/osteo, Lesley, who had noticed Katriona had some stiffness in her cervical spine.
So anyway, right in front of me, as Terry was working on her, Katriona began to cry like she had when she was born and then began to replay the movements that a baby needs to make in order to be born; head extended, turn to the side etc ... Terry also noticed it and agreed with me that it did indeed look like a rebirth of sorts!
Later in the afternoon we saw Lesley, our third appointment since realising Katriona had the hydrocephalus, and she did some further adjustments to Katriona's neck.
We still have not heard back from the neurosurgeons office with a date for the MRI. Part of me wants it done ASAP because what if she does need surgery, the other part of me thinks to hold off and give natural therapies a chance to work first.
It's hard work being a parent sometimes!
