Jewel has been in a lot of pain due to the spasms and tone and weak muscles in her hips, her legs have been tight and she has been getting charlie horses in her calves :(
We have been massaging, stretching and using Arnica Montana gel and homeopathic remedies, along with all her other supplements.
Makena sat up with Jewel so I could get some sleep, thank you Makena!
Jewel could only get some sleep in the upright sitting position.
I have been running on very little sleep and so has she.
This afternoon I picked up some children's Ibuprofen and gave her one teaspoon after her lunch.
She went to sleep shortly after and it has greatly benefited her overall comfort and personality.
I hate to use anything outside of whole foods and natural herbs but there is always a place and time for other aids to be given.
The children's oral suspension (liquid) Ibuprofen worked.
Found an interesting article on Josh Blue the comedian with Cerebral Palsy and thought someone may enjoy reading it.
