Lucky 8's

Well, today, on 8-8-08, Emma's 8th tooth appeared. FINALLY broke through her gums. It's her 1st molar on the bottom left side. She also had her first visit to the pediatric chiropracter. The doctor found her to be fairly misaligned. Stated that due to her rough birth (aren't they all rough???) her occipital bone is pushing onto her top two vertebrae and they are wacky. She gave her a massage basically, she said she was doing vibration therapy, but all I saw were her hands. Anyway, Emma loved it, tolerated it very well. At the beginning she didn't want the doctor anywhere near her ears, neck, etc and was bothered, but as she did more examining she relaxed and apparently enjoyed how it felt as she let out a huge sigh afterward. So maybe it will help. The top two vertebrae are connected with sinuses and the ears (among other things), but the doctor said she "untwisted" her two vertebrae...OUCH! She also has one ear that is lower than another, one eye which is bigger than the other, and her left foot sticks out farther than her right. The dr also said it was "interesting" that she crawled in the modified army crawl for as long as she did, as if this was a new found indication for a misalignment?!?!?! Anyway, hopefully she's aligned and that 8's continue to be a lucky number for her and our family!!!
