Sweet little Emma was born at home on 5/31/01 at 7:24 in the morning. She made her arrival without drugs or hasty intervention and as a result, she was wide-eyed and looking all around the room before being fully born.

Emma had us all fooled - we all thought she was going to be a boy (our gut feeling), but lucky for us, we planned for such an emergency and had little girl clothes on hand.

Without going on endlessly, all I can say is I have a whole new level of respect for my amazingly incredible wife Carrie - I have never seen so much determination, strength, power and love present in one person at one time! This event is by far the most wonderful event of my life and I'm proud to admit, I cried like a little school-girl when I saw sweet little Emma's face for the first time.

Emma getting her atlas adjusted. Her first adjustment was within hours of entering this world. Emma was sucking her fingers as she was being born - this made it difficult for her head/neck since her arm/elbow took up so much space in the birth canal. After being born, Emma couldn't turn her head to the right...after receiving a specific chiropractic adjustment to her atlas (bone at the base of the skull), she was able to turn her head!

Imagine the number of children born with the exact same problem! How many of them had the opportunity to get adjusted from birth on? With restricted rotation, it would have made breastfeeding on one particular breast difficult, if not impossible.

Plain and simple...all children need to be checked for the detrimental effects of vertebral subluxation.

After all, as the twig is bent, so grows the tree!
