Hi everyone! I hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving! Mine was great! I can’t believe how fast Christmas arrives! I’m not quite ready! Are you?!
So here’s what we know about my son’s back condition: Not much. We have made several trips to Louisville for tests and checkups. He’s on a few medicines that aren’t really helping at all. The Neurologist seems to think it is what they call a “tethered cord” however there is nothing showing up on the MRI. He wants to do surgery. I’m hesitant. This is my 8 year-old child! We’ve been taking him to the chiropractor, who seems to think he can help. We will just have to wait and see. Have I ever mentioned how impatient I am….?
I want to let you all in on a little secret. I’m having a Shabby Apple Dress giveaway in the morning! Be sure to check back and enter for your chance to win!!

Rebekah! Happy for the update! Wish you had some better news. Keeping your family in my thoughts to find out exactly what is wrong with your little one. *hugs*
My husband is a chiropractor so I know and have seen the amazing things that chiropractic can do for people. Although, yes it does take time. It is always good to start with a less invasive treatment. Surgery espeically for an 8 year old should be the last resort. Surgery can have lasting effects espeically when they get older. My husband is seeing that now in his office. Good luck!
a friend of mine from High School has been on a crazy health/surgery/illness rollercoster with both of her sons for almost 2 years now her oldest had/has a tethered cord...here is their group facebook page (Team Spencer/Team Brycen)
