My now 16-month old daughter had two traumatic (bloody) spinal taps when she was 2 days old. She also had arterial blood draws, urine collection, IVs, heart and lung monitors, echocardiogram, CAT scan,was denied nursing for 24 hours, had an upper GI barium swallow... all to find out why she was having blue spells (it was severe reflux). Now she's a happy, energetic girl. But she also is constantly jabbing her fingers into our ears, eyes, mouths, and hitting, biting, and pinching. I believe this is a result of all the medical trauma she had early on, but don't quite know what to do for her. Of course traditional medicine denies any long term effect, so her ped would just think I'm crazy if I even brought it up. Any ideas out there from alternative medicine?
