Do you hear what I hear????

Whiplash........................


What is whiplash? Whiplash is a soft tissue injury to the neck. Whiplash is also called neck sprain or neck strain. It is characterized by a collection of symptoms that occur following damage to the neck, usually because of sudden extension and flexion. The disorder commonly occurs as the result of an automobile accident and may include injury to intervertebral joints, discs, and ligaments, cervical muscles, and nerve roots. Symptoms such as neck pain may be present directly after the injury or may be delayed for several days.


So, there was a lot of yelling with the whole "exhausted medical protocal" issue ---


Tuesday we went to Seattle for acupuncture ---- Christopher Huson (hue-son) is his name and he is located one block off of Broadway on Capitol Hill. He is AWESOME!!! After an exam of Brendan -- pressure points and muscle tightness -- He believes that Brendan is suffering from whiplash. Where did he get whiplash from???? The intertube ride from hell on our snow trip!! it was almost a month to the day that he developed the migraine. Chris said that it can sometimes take up to 4 months for symptoms to appear. Everyplace where Brendan had an issue is textbook whiplash.....................Can we have found an answer?? Really??? We are trying to not put all our hopes in this basket but maybe it is a start?
We have another appointment on Friday --
Whitlee finished her antibiotic today -- her earache is gone --
I am off to sleep......................................................
