I am sorry about Jeff (even though I don’t know what bell palsy means it

sounds no good). I am happy that Yessenia is OK.

Asunto: Yessenia's 6 month checkup & Jeff's recheck

We went to the dr today for Yessenia's 6 month wellbaby. Also to recheck

Jeff's bells palsy. We all go to the same dr. Jeff is still getting

worse and he is going to try accupuncture. Anyone ever try it? Other

than that he is doing fine.

Yessenia is also doing well. Every nurse tells me she is so alert and

responsive! Very advanced for her age in this area. And she never stops

moving! lol She is 14 lbs even. (Although I had just fed her a jar of

squash and a bowl of cereal and brestfed her. wanted all the extra

weight and for her to be content. lol) and 27.5 inches long. Her head

circumfrence is 16.5 inches. So she is 95% for length and 20% for weight

and 45% for head circ.

bells palsy is where one side of the face is paralyzed. most times it is not

permanent. it should go away in about 6 months.

I'm sorry to hear he's getting worse. How miserable!

I have used acupuncture for my dog. Does that count? LOL Actually it

worked very well for her, and I wish we could afford to continue it. But

silly things like groceries keep getting int he way. ;P We tried to use it

for Mikey's insomnia but he wouldn't have it.

That must be WONDERFUL to hear.

That's a big improvement!

I don't remember how much she weighed at birth but she must be getting close

to doubling it? had more than tripled his birth weight at 6 months

and Gabe was nearly there, but you know that story, they are big boys.

Heck, some of 's shirts are 7s!! He's THREE for pete's sake!!! Gabe

seems so tiny in comparison but really he is I think 75th% so I know he is

not really such a little guy. There was a little girl at the waiting room

of OT yesterday who had just turned 2 and she was SO TINY...and absolutely

adorable!

Maybe I will have a petite little girl next. As long as she's a HAPPY

petite little girl who does not CRY all the time!!!

~~~~~~~happy healthy baby vibes to me! ~~~~~~~~~~

Wow, she is getting so big. It's amazing how fast it goes. She's a peanut

weight wise, probably all that energy she has.

Adeline was also to the doctor yesterday. I wanted to jump for joy. She gained a

pound 11lb 6oz at 13 week and 22 inches long. Yea Adeline, I though she was

never going to gain.

I'm glad everything went well.

I use acupuncture to control my winter allergy. I am very allergic to a

tree that pollinates down here in Texas in the winter time. It makes

me so sick that I want to cut my head off. Acupuncture has worked

miraculously for me on that one. I had considered using it for years

but never did until last year. This is the second winter it's working

so well for me. I'm so relieved! My husband is at the acupuncturist

today as a matter of fact for treatment for a abdominal muscle tear

that's been nagging him for months. Today is his second treatment and

if it doesn't work for him within a month or two he is going to try

steroid treatment and then probably surgery. He is desperate because

it interferes with his ability to play Ultimate, and you know we can't

have that. ;-)

I've heard that Acupuncture is especially effective on things like Bells

Palsy. I hope that turns out to be true for Jeff. The needles are so

tiny that you can barely feel them and after they are in you don't feel

them at all. If the needle gets too close to a nerve, sometimes you can

feel it prick you on entering, but it's more like the sting of a

mosquito bite then what you might imagine for a needle poke.

Glad to hear your little stinker Yessenia is doing well!

Take care,~ Karin

p.s. let me know how it works (or doesn't work) for Jeff, I'm curious

to hear the results.
