Cora passes the test

Cora had a visit with the eye specialist to make sure that her eyes were developing the way they are suppose to be.  I was hesitant to allow them to use the eye drops that dilate her eyes, she is still on medicines and I worried about the interaction.  The Doctor was pretty determined that she needed her eyes dilated and even to the point of being persistent.  At one point he even used the reasoning with me that infants with Down syndrome are more prone to serious eye issues.  He reassured me many times that Cora would not have a negative reaction to the eye drops.  I finally relented.  The drops were only suppose to work for 8 - 24 hours.

36 hours passed and Cora's right eye was still dilated and not focusing the right way.  I had called the family eye doctor with concerns and he said I could bring her in to be seen in the afternoon, and they could probably give her medicine to reverse the dilation.  More medicine??????

In the meantime, I had to take her to another chiropractic care appointment.  I seemed to be the only one really concerned with Cora's eye not focusing and still being dilated, and since I tend to worry about my baby girl, I went ahead and took her to her chiropractic appointment.

When we walked into the office, Dr. Burt commented on Cora's eyes and I told him the story.  He said, "Well, she looks out of alignment today so let's see what happens."  He started to adjust her and half way through.....zing!  her eye went back to normal.  I was amazed at the magic.  He told me it wasn't magic and he often sees those kind of results.  Something was probably pinched and not letting the blood flow move like it was suppose to and therefore the medicine couldn't leave the eye like it needed to.  All I could say was, "WOW". 

A rare moment for me to be without words! haha.  Yet, a very reassuring one.  For the naysayers that felt Cora didn't need the chiropractic care, there you have it.  Proof that the body can heal itself if you give it the right adjustments and nutrition........and there was no medicine involved.   Isn't that wonderful?!
