This testimonial is the very essence of why I chose to make space to work with children, other than my own...;
"We started seeing Sue shortly after we were told that my son, Edison, had Osteopetrosis, a genetic condition, causing Sclerotic Bone Dysplasia, an overgrowth and hardening of the bones.
He struggled with his breathing, which triggered the doctors to order x-rays when he was a day old and again at a week old, both confirming sclerotic bone. Sue was still a student of the Anat Baniel Method (ABM) NeuroMovement at the time and generously offered to try the method to help with his breathing. Edison was only 3 weeks old at the time.
I was also suffering with carpotunnel and was having trouble sleeping because of the pins and needles in my fingers. I had no feeling at all in my thumb, first and second fingers. Sue said we would do a few treatments for me as well. After our first treatment, we were both tired and went home to nap. When I woke up, I was so surprised and excited to feel my pointer finger had feeling in it!!! It just got better from there... By the end of the following week, I had most of the feeling back and was sleeping so much better.
As far as Edison, after 3 months of specialist appointments, x-ray's, blood work.... we finally got in to see the bone specialist and the genetic specialist and councilor from Children's Hospital. She sat us down and said that she had prepared an outline for us that would entail a series of bone marrow transplants and a few other procedures.
BUT... after she saw the updated x-rays, she could not explain what she saw. THE OSTEOPETROSIS WAS GONE!! There was no evidence of sclerotic bone left in his body and our specialists could not believe or explain it... She said that she could only find one other case in history where the sclerotic bone got better in a child.
I am so thankful that Sue helped us and offered this treatment to us at such a difficult time. We didn't know what to expect, if anything, we just felt like we were at least trying and doing something. I did not expect to see such amazing results. Really a miracle.
I am forever thankful!"
