Recently in a thread on my midwifery/childbirth education/labor doula yahoo group a midwife posted that she's had good success getting a stalled labor to pick back up by instructing the mother to suck her thumb.
Interesting.

Sorry to hear the issues on the home front seem to be
more difficult for now. Hopefully you can find some resolution that will support you & your son, as well as the rest of the family. Our thoughts are with you Amanda.

How are things?
Hi Amanda,
I was just wondering how things were going for you and your child regarding the lack of smell and adhd/behavior issues. Has he started school and if so, how is that going? Have you noticed any additonal changes you attribute the CST to?
I have some other questions for you, do you mind if I PM you?

thanks, guys!
so far no difference noted in taste and smell. but knowing that he feels a difference in his breathing is huge.
on a side note, he had his yearly check up on tuesday, and his ped. has put him on an appetite stimulant for a month or so. i have seen him eating more - tonight he even had a rice cake which is unusual for him. i've also been adding high-calorie, vitamin & protein mix to his milk.
daily steps...

we went back for tx #2 yesterday - she began the inside-of-the-mouth work. billy said it REALLY tickled! but it went well. we're set up for every 2 weeks. he is happy with it, and is allowing me to work with him more since then. actually, every 2 weeks, i get an ah shiatsu while he and his sister are getting CST! not bad for an 8 year old, a 6 year old and a tired mommy!
oh and yes, there was more ER last night but not as badly as the time before.

I agree with the above posters, especially about the CST work is very powerful. Very Good stuff!
I know this is a massage therapy board, but I'll post this info here. So few people know about the following and it is SO appropriate for your situation: There is a specialty within the chiropractic field referred to as chiropractic neurology. These are doctors of chiropractic who have taken an additional 2-3 years of study in the field of neurology. This can also be very powerful work. These doctors do more than spinal adjusting; they work with the various components of the brain as well. They often work with people who have gotten limited results from the regular chiropractic and regular medical fields, and they specialize in all kinds of conditions, including autism, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, head injuries and brain damage, memory loss, chronic fatigue, adrenal fatigue, etc, with phenomenal results.
Just Google "Chiropractic Neurology". When the American Board's website comes up, there's a Member Locator on the left-hand side where you can locate one near you, if you choose this option. I myself have gotten very good results from a single adjustment regarding a chronic swallowing problem, and I'm about to seek some more help down this road for some severe adrenal fatigue and mysterious accompanying symptoms.
I hope that helps!
Hugs

yes, emotional releases... they are necessary, and they are positive. and i know there are more to come and i am looking forward to that because i know that the accomplishment is so worth it. but it's still hard... which is why i booked myself an ashiatsu session a couple of days after his next CST.
he got so somber about two hours afterward, he was looking out the window as we were driving to my sister's and said " i wish cigarettes had never been invented. so many people would be so healthier. can you imagine how the world would be different if they'd never been invented? i would have gotten to meet grandpa."

You may want to try some Bach Flower Rescue Remedy,
just to help balance out the emotional responses, should they occur again.
As cstbrian already mentioned, the emotional response is not unusual.
It may also have been partially due to his
"excitement" prior to the work, along with all the stimulation his nervous system was recieving during treatment. The body has to learn how to settle into a new
way of being, and this in turn will often trigger a shift mentally & emotionally at the same time.
Let us know how things progress, and if it starts to make the hoped for shift in your son's sense of smell & taste too,
since they are so closely tied together.
Good luck with everything.

Adults can go through the same emotional releasing after a session. I can only imagine it's more difficult when it's your child. Just remember how your thoughts effect the situation. This is a positive change that is happening, try to keep your thoughts on the positive changes that are coming.
The body is bringing up these emotions to release them so that it can process them and work toward bringing the body back into balance. While it may be difficult in the moment, it's all for the good of his health.

no problem - he's a sensitive boy anyway, with a big old toughie inside that tries to come out on occasion. he's a finicky eater as well. since the tx, he has been very easy to upset - more emotional. he's also eaten VERY little - i mean, VERY little. he might have eaten twice yesterday. and some of that might be explained by us staying at my sister's and some of the food choices being different, but i made sure to have his 'specialties' available, and at every turn there was some sort of trauma related to food. (since counseling, i do know that there are issues there regarding food, we just haven't seen the upset like this in awhile)
today though, he's my same old son. but, we also came home today. so i think it's mostly emotional release with a little does of homesick thrown in. he's a MAJOR home-body.

so yes, the inside/palate thing is exactly the direction she wants to go in. the session went fine - about 45 minutes long. he went back and forth between very relaxed and very giggle-y... his occipital ridge was incredibly ticklish to him. she did say that his cranial pulse was "macho" (whatever that means).
we go back in 2 wks.
he says the session was great. i could have TOTALLY done without the series of emotional releases that followed over the next ten hours.

I can't get into the specifics of how (other than we know the body is all connected) but hard palate work can help release the pelvic floor.

As a side note, since I am just getting to this thread, I also would lean toward CST as one of my first options. From there a good pediatric chiro (just for a few sessions) and a follow up with a good acupuncturist/herbalist for possibly a lot of sessions --- or maybe if they have something fast and furious in their repetoir, then a few.
I think the CST is one place to begin with head trauma. Without knowing tons about it, it always struck me as the go to modality for something like this.
Just opinions.
Looking forward to hearing how things progress.
