How we got here

Sorry, this is a long one.
Logan was born a month early due to minor pregnancy complications. I wasn't feeling him move, so called up the doctor and he took a look. Next thing I know we are being admitted to the hospital for observation. They told me to rest. Well anyone who has been in the hospital for observation knows that you do not rest. They constantly come in and take down more information. So I was ready to go home and then the doc told me that Logan had to be born that day. So we opted for a C-section since I wasn't in labor at all.

Our beautiful son arrived healthy and crying. He was a good baby for a while. Then became really fussy and we discovered it was the formula (sorry he never would take mother's milk). So we switch and things calmed down again. Until he was 2 months old. He began to get ear infections. The Pediatricians asked if he was around smoke, had too much water in the bath and so forth. None of which we were doing, so it was unknown as to why he kept getting so many ear infections. We were going to the doctors every single month for another round of infections.

At 9 months we moved to North Georgia and hoped that a climate change would help some. Nope, still had ear infections. Pediatrician's here tried different medicines, tubes, making sure he doesn't drink milk and immediately go to sleep (didn't quite understand that one). We were talking to another parent about it and she told us the craziest thing...Call the Chiropractor. I did some research and it sounded like it might work. So we made an appointment. By this time, Logan was 2 years old and still getting infections. I was tired of giving him medicine and was also concerned about all that medicine in his little body.

The Chiropractor told us that babies born by C-section sometimes get pinched nerves in their necks or upper back from being pulled. So they layed out a plan to get him healthy and to the point where he no longer needed to see the Chiropractor (that was a plus!). The first week was scary and horrible. They warned us, but I never thought it would have been like that. Not to gross you out, but after the second adjustment his nasal and ear passages started draining like crazy. Two weeks into the treatment, Logan would go in and knew exactly what to do and where to go. He walked around like he owned that office. Two months later and no more ear infections, I was ready to do a dance! Logan still liked going and never complained about the adjustments.

Now it has been 2 years and he has not had another ear infection. About 13 months ago, we stopped seeing the Chiropractor. I still worry when he spikes a fever or gets a little sniffle, but he has been doing so well. According to the Speech Therapist, the time when toddlers really learn to vocalize and mimic words, was the time when Logan was going through ear infections. Since ear infections muffle the sound, he was not getting the full effect that other kids get. So now we work with him on using his words.
