Testing progress and first CST

Megan has woken up the past 2 nights (no enzyme) and screamed for 30 minutes and then cried for 30 minutes and then spent 30 minutes putting herself back to sleep.  We expected issues because of taking away the enzyme and though her screaming at nap time and bedtime is worse at least her sleeping isn't horrible.  2 nights ago she slept until 9a and this morning only until 6a.

She has been having good days, just needing a little extra support.

We were able to get enough saliva for Megan's DNA test last night and mailed it in today.  It will take 2-3 weeks to get the results back.  Megan had a dirty diaper today so now we need one more, hopefully tomorrow.  I put cotton balls in her diaper tonight so that we can get her overnight urine sample in the morning.  She has to fast for 8 hours for her blood work so I am going to take her first thing in the morning one day this week.

Megan had her first CST session today.  She did really well, but would take the doctor's hand off of her head and would pull her head away.  The doctor said every patient she has ever treated reacts this way during the first session because it feels weird.  Megan was never in pain or upset she just wanted the doctor to move her hands.  At one point she moved her hands to a different spot on her head and the doctor said she hadn't worked on that area yet and she took care of it.

Dr. Brooks said that they rate the movement of the scull on a scale of 0-3, with 0 being what you want to achieve.  All of Megan's were either a 2 or 3.  She said that ideally her numbers will start changing by the 3rd treatment.  She warned me that Megan could be extremely hungry and tired as a result of the treatment.  She didn't appear to have either.  She did take a 1.5 hour nap and woke up unhappy, like she didn't get enough sleep.   She was very hungry at dinner and started yawning a lot an hour before bedtime so we put her down about 30 minutes early.  Maybe she had a delayed reaction.
