Dr Miller

I'm posting this today, but was written yesterday:) Remember how the kids were quite and playing nicely, they still are so i thought I'd post some more for the days when i can't.

Today we are heading to Dr Miller. C'man seems to have a rasp in his chest. He's actually had this since birth leading us, and the Ped., thinking maybe he had an allergy to milk or possibly asthma. We decided just to let it go b/c it really wasn't inhibiting in anyway. Well in the last couple weeks I've noticed it back and it seems worse. Flair ups come when he's worked up, crying of sorts. He seems fine when he's playing hard, running, climbing, etc, but its still there. It's becoming worrisome to me worrying about if it is asthma what happens if he has an attack. But it also could be allergies. It seemed noticeable when the corn was tasseling. Dr Miller will be able to tell us if it's an allergy, asthma or what, and advice us what to do..

Miss A needs an attitude adjustment. She's still doing her spitting and here the last couple of nights she's waking up. Night tares again?? Maybe dreaming that her brother has taken all her dolls. Who knows but maybe something internally isn't lined up right.

I'm going b/c i seem to be having more migraines. All last week i had at least 3! But so far, none this week!? Thinking maybe he can find what's triggering them??I think too i have an allergy to something. And honestly it could be cats C'man and I are allergic too. That baby 'sally' sure is a sweetheart and has worked her way in to our house from time to time.

DH is coming too. Not sure if I'm liking that idea or not. Every time DH comes to Dr's with me he always tries to play Dr himself OR he starts telling Dr about all sorts of things that pertain nothing to what I'm there to talk about. For instance i see him saying why does she seem so uptight about everything. Well gee husband, you stay home with these kids day in and day out, put them to bed, bath them, feed them, listen to the fighting, entertain them and then have you come home sit either on the toilet or the recliner all while the dang dogs bark for food or bring loads of mud/dirt in the house. Oh yes and you wonder why I'm so uptight!!

At any rate i would also like Dr to give DH a little examination. Check for whatever, see what he finds in the man who thinks nothing is wrong with him:)

After our appt we're thinking about heading to Boone IA where there is a train you can ride. Shannan and family did it last week and LOVED it. Friend ShannOn lives there as well. Not sure will be able to hook up but maybe!?

That's the plan for today. Will see how it all plays out. We need to be on the road by 715AM.

Right Brainer

Yesterday (Wednesday) Miss A and I went to see Dr Miller AKA VooDoo Doc. I must say again I'm truly AMAZED by him! He it TOTALLY worth a day's drive to see him! This time he worked on me after Miss A who by the way, had very few 'issues'. But me?? I was interesting which is par for the course. After doing a variety of tests it was determined i am VERY right brained.

For instance, I can not start at 67 and subtract by 3's. Well i can it just takes me awhile. I could not name a farm animal every 4 seconds. Dr Miller would give me an order of numbers that if give in a little sequence i could repeat but not otherwise. It really was interesting and i could go in to greater detail but i think I covered the basics. What i need to do tho, is work on subtracting and getting a Where in the World is Waldo book and find Waldo. I need to work out my brain b/c in his exact words 'your left brain is mush'. The condition of my left brain leaves my body fighting off antibodies and other 'things' making me susceptible to Rheumatoid Arthritis, or Lupus. WHICH just happens to be what both of my parents are dealing with. My brain is not fighting there for creating a very weakened immune system.

Before you all think I'm crazy, i want you to try out some of the tests I found online. I have to say that reading characteristics of right brain people is totally me. I found this on the Internet:

Are you shaking your heads yet saying yup, yup. I also read another website that said jobs for right brainers are
Forest ranger
Wildlife manager
Beautician
Politician
Athlete
Artist
Craftsman
Actor/Actress

Politician, how funny is that. This all is very interesting to me. Although the only job up there that appeals to me is the politician. A Forest Ranger? ME?? One who no way will camp in a tent, hates bugs, eww.

This all explains a lot!! Why i couldn't do math, why i often am standing in the store thinking i know that person just can't remember there name! Or being able to drive places once and remember how to get back there months, maybe even years later. I have 'hunches' about things and usually am right.

Are you wondering what you are? I found this test, take it and let us know what you are!

Share with us how accurate you think this all is!

The other thing the Dr worked on was my endometriosis. That was quite something too!! I said well i guess if I call back in 6 weeks and say I'm pregnant we know it worked. JOKING of course!! Wouldn't THAT be scary!!

Go on try this out!!

VooDoo Doc visit

This AM I had an appt for the 'Voo Doo' Doctor in Jefferson IA. He is a Chiropractor that practices alternative medicine. I made the appt for Miss A and her constipation problem she has been dealing with since birth. She continues to be in a bad mood and HATES being changed. So enough was enough and i finally made the appt. It was about a 2 hour trip otherwise I'd had made an appt long time ago.

Mr C'man went to our old baby sitter and Miss A and I set off for Jefferson. The ride was uneventful although i do question my TomTom's ability to pick the 'fastest route'. The appt was just AMAZING!! I just can not believe it. Dr Miller, aka Voodoo man, worked on Miss A by having her lay on the examination table/bed and I sat on the table up by her head. He poked, pushed, touched, etc different areas of her body. Then he had me put one had on her and hold my other, left arm, straight up and was not to let him push it down. When ever there was a 'weak' area on Miss A my arm would go down. He'd 'fix' it and then tell me to put my arm out again and it WOULDN'T GO DOWN!! She laid there very calmly for him this entire time, VERY relaxed. Then he gave her some vials and did some more resistance things. He noticed that she has an allergy to a drug found in vaccinations, he then rid her body of it.

Then he said 'I'm going to work on your mommy'. I wasn't planning on that. He then had me hold a variety of vials and did some more resistance tests. He says 'you've been very sick' I thought about it and remembered that yes I had had the flu. He said 'no sicker then that'. Hmmm...he said 'you have staph, strep and phenomena, in your body'. I was SHOCKED b/c that would be entirely possible. I had MRSA a couple years ago and have never been able to get rid of it. I had a horrible cold a/b a month ago and well strep is a form of staph. He said 'it's not even just strep, its strep B and that is very serious'. So he 'rid my body' of those infections and said i should be cleared of them now! He can only treat 3 infections at a time. He doesn't even check for any more after he finds 3, however a person could come back in 1 1/2 and he could do another treatment. He said he has people fly in first thing in the AM and then every 1 1/2 they do another treatment and they fly out early evening. YES he has people fly in from all over the USA!

After he finished with me he wanted to do an emotional eval on Miss A. He worked on her and then said 'OK now try changing her diaper'. I did with NO problems although I'm not 100% convinced that was just b/c we were in a different place. But anyway he said she was emotionally damaged. Made me feel horrible but the doc instantly gave me the high five but with the knuckle kind of thing and said i think we're well on our way. I'm sure all those times of changing her and having to take her temp rectally and do suppositories is what made her HATE her changing table. He told me if she still is horrible to change to not tolerate it and get her back in for another session.

$110 later we left. I thought that was a GREAT price b/c we both got treated. Now return visits will be $26! I got right in my van and called my mom and said you have GOT to see this man. I'm wondering how many of you think I'm crazy!? I must say tho that when i was younger, like 10-13 yrs old i went to a doc that practiced acupressure. He cured me, i kid you not, of my nervousness. My dad thought it was CRAZY, as he does this, but he also will kind of bite his lip and says you sure didn't have many stomach issues after it tho.

I encourage ANY of you who live in IA to contact me for more information. I think it would be well worth your trip to see him AND you could even stay over night and do sessions on both days. We won't rush back but I'm not going to put it off.

With that I must express my sadness to my first college roommate who's father passed away Sunday AM from a heart attack. It really makes you realize how quick those you love, can be taken from you. Her family is expecting the first AND SECOND g'babies this summer and fall AND next April my roommate will be getting married. It makes me so sad. I talked to her last night and they are getting by. So if you are in to praying, please send up some prayers for there family. Hugs to you KL!!!
