Madison move on hold

We've decided to hold off a while (1,2-6 months?) on our move to Madison. It was a very difficult decision, yet at the same time, clear. We promised Anya we will do anything and everything to help her. We really wanted to give her hyperbaric oxygen treatment, having family closer by would have been great and most of all getting new/more doctors working on her. However, we have seen HUGE improvements in Anya by following Dr Douillard's (Ayurvedic doc) suggestions and we found what seems to be a well suited match for Anya with an Acupuncturist, Dr. Lixin Zhang in Denver. So we need to exhaust all our possible resources here before moving to a place where those therapies, especially to that caliber, would not be as accessible. Staying here will also give us the opportunity to take Anya to The Anchor Center (Center for blind children) so we can get a better assessment on what her vision capabilities are and how we can help her.

Regarding the Ayurvedic treatment, Anya's mucus issues are essentially gone! We used to have to suction her with a little electric suction pump several times per hour. Since we started Dr. Dioullard regimen we have maybe turn on the pump 3 or 4 times in the last week. We're trying not to be over optimistic but I think this is the first time we've been able to help Anya in any way (and it feels good). Of all the other drugs she's gotten for any sympton (prevacid, zantac, chloral, benadryl, etc) this is the first time we've actually had any success. Thanks Doc! We're excited to meet with him again next Friday to tackle her other issues.

The Acupucturist works a lot with stroke victims and other brain injuries. Hehas experience with peds. and infants and He seems very intellent and knowledgable, and thinks he can really help our baby girl...
