Asher's ear infection/sinus infection and vomiting didn't seem to be getting better, so a few weeks ago we took Asher to see an acupuncturist. Dr. Chen came very highly recommended, and I had listened to him give a talk a couple of years ago when we were thinking of taking Simi. He only used the needles briefly because of Asher's age (though Dr. Chen said he'd never seen a baby take the needles so well), and focused on Acupressure and teaching us a few things to do a few times a day.
Dr. Chen was very optomistic we'd see immediate results, and we were slightly disappointed when Asher vomitted that afternoon as he had pretty much every day for quite a while, but he hasn't thrown up since. We went back a week after the initial appointment for a followup, and will only go back as needed now. Perhaps it's a coincidence, maybe the meds finally kicked in or his body fought it off, but we certainly are gaining more faith in it.
