Caring for children is by far the highlight of everyday in my practice. I love watching the children grow, but I love watching the parents grow too! Our programs for children help parents learn about how to care for their family naturally, and offer guidance for many questions and parenting dilemmas that pop up.
“I thought I’d share a little something which means the world to me! My son was at daycare on a very hot Monday. When I picked him up at 4, he was acting kinda off. All the other kids seemed fine. When I got home with him, I felt his head and he felt warm, but I figured it was the hot weather and thought little of it. That night he did not sleep well, which is not normal for him. In the morning I checked his temperature and it was 99 degrees. I kept him home Tuesday and monitored him all day. He was off all day and needed mommy. By Tuesday night his temperature was 100, so putting him to bed, I gave him infant advil. It helped him sleep, but he was restless. Wednesday morning, I checked his temperature and it had gone up to 102. I called Telehealth and they told me that there was a virus going around infants and toddlers, and that it was a cold with a fever and that it could last up to three weeks. They said that what I was doing was perfect and that if it gets any worse to call them back. I knew you were working 3-6, so I called to book him in for an adjustment. I knew it couldn’t do any harm. The adjustment was obviously a surprise to him because he cried, but when I got him home, he was almost back to normal. I thought I would check his temperature just to see what it was and I was floored!! Twenty minutes after you adjusted him his temperature was back down to 98 degrees. You’re awesome!!! This is twice now I thought I was going the ER but I’m so glad I came here first!” MT
