Zachary saw Dr. Brown just before leaving for Arkansas on the 22nd. We thought that since he had been doing so well that he would be okay for a couple of weeks without an adjustment. Umm? Yeah!! Oh, how wrong we were. Zachary started going down hill on Friday the 29th, my Aunt noticed that the way he walked and the way he carried himself had changed (which is typical of the pain starting to set in). This evening on our way to spend a week in Texas and pick up our four little ones Z's pain kicked in. He wasn't doing well at all and, again, the feelings of helplessness came to revisit me. His pain got up to a 9 or a 10 and he suffered through it for about 6 1/2 hours. Ugh! This is not the kind of memory lane I like going down. The next morning I took him to the nearest Marathon Chiropractor to get an adjustment. I contacted Dr. Brown so that he could inform the doctor there of Z's situation so that he could accurately adjust Z. The doctor was very gentle, so gentle that I worried that he didn't accomplish what needed to be done so that Z wouldn't suffer through the pain again. Z did experience some pain a couple of days later but insisted he wanted to see Dr. Brown. So we did not revisit Dr. Kordic's office.
Lesson 1: Zachary's body took 6 years to get to the state that it's in, a few months isn't going to return him back to normal, remember patience and time are your friends not your enemys.
Lesson 2: Remember to fold Dr. Brown up and put him in Z's pocket when planning another out of state trip, lol, seriously tho .... if it were possible we'd do it!! I think that next time we will go ahead and plan to have appointments set for Zachary to be adjusted while he's away. Something even if it is gentle is better than nothing at all. ;)
Lesson 3: Watch that diet, it makes a bigger difference than we thought.
