reply about mom

 

DEAR AL,

I APPRECIATE ALL THAT YOU RESPONDED TO ME ON MY MOMS CONDITION ON THE

ACUPUNCTURE SITE ON ONELIST.

RECAP. ..MOM IS 77 AND ON XMAS DAY HAD SEVERE LOW BACK PAIN AND NUMBNESS IN

LEGS. IT GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND ENDED UP HOSPITALIZED THE NEXT DAY.

SHE HAS BEEN HOME IN AN APARTMENT FOR 2 WEEKS NOW AND IS PARALIZED FROM THE

WAIST DOWN. SHE GAINED BACK ENOUGH THAT SHE CAN BARE WEIGHT ON HER LEGS AND

COULD TAKE STEPS IN THE PARALEL BARS BEFORE LEAVING THE HOSPITAL. I HAVE BEEN

STANDING HER AT HOME AND HAVING HER LIFT ONE LEG AT A TIME TO TRY AND STRENGHEN

THE QUADS.

UNFORTUNATELY THE HOME CARE THERAPIES DO NOT COMPARE TO WHAT SHE GOT IN THE P.T.

DEPT. AS FAR AS EQUIPTMENT.

THE DX. WAS ISCHEMIC EPISODE IN THE SPINAL COLUMN WITH THE MRI STUDIES

CONCLUDING THIS BUT AT THE SAME TIME STATING ALSO INDICATIVE OF INFLAMATION. SO

THE DR'S DX. HER WITH " STROKE " OF THE SPINAL COLUMN.

SHE HAS HAD ALOT OF ENERGY WORK ,REIKI AND HEALING TOUCH DONE ON HER AND

REFLEXOLOGY, AND ACUPRESSURE AND ONE SESSION OF ACUPUNCTURE BY A WOMAN WHOM CAME

TO THE HOME.

UNFORTUNATELY MOM HAS BEEN SO OVERWHELMED ABOUT THE TRANSITION HOME THAT WE

HAVEN'T DONE MUCH FOR A COUPLE WEEKS. ALSO SHE IS AFRAID OF THE NEEDLE STICKS OF

ACPUNCTURE FOR FEAR OF INFECTION.(ALAS, WE HAVE BEEN TREATING A DECUB. ULCER ON

HER L HEAL.)

AS FOR HER BOWELS AND BLADDER IT WOULD BE SO GREAT IF WE COULD FACSILITATE THE

RETURN OF THESE FUNCTIONS AS WELL AS GET HER WALKING.!!

IF YOU COULD RECOMMEND SOME ACUPRESSURE POINTS THAT WE COULD DO ON HER AND SOME

HERBS OR OILS TO USE ON THESE AREAS IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL.MOM IS ALSO AFRAID TO

INJEST MUCH OF ANYTHINGD/T NUMEROUS ALLERGIES.

HER HX. (*PRIOR THIS)SEVERE COLITIS, SOME HEART PROBLEMS SUCH AS ARTERY

DISEASE,HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.SHE IS A WORRY WART AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN A VERY BAD

EATER(COLITIS) AND COULD NEVER SIT STILL.

I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW DESPORATELY WE ARE TRYING TO FIND THE CURE OR THE FIX.MOM

IS OPEN MINDED ENOUGH TO TRY ANYTHING,ALTHOUGH HESITANT AS I SAID ON TAKING

ANYTHING BY MOUTH.

BLESS YOU FOR LISTENING TO ALL OF THIS AND PLEASE KNOW THAT ALL YOU SHARE IS

WELCOMED AND WE THANK YOU RIGHT FROM THE HEART.

SINCERELY,MOIRA

P.S. HAPPY EASTER ALL!

P.S.S. i TRIED TO SEND THIS TO YOUR WEBSITE AL BUT IT WOULD NOT GO THROUGH
