Soaking Up Those Stem Cells
July 4th, 2009
Happy 4th of July Everyone!
Ella got along perfectly with her first treatment. No fever, nothing. I spoke to Don several times yesterday and she was doing great! The kids did their daily singing to her via Skype.
Don was making it a picture day and was going to go around the hospital and take pictures of everything and everyone. He is telling me the stories of all the other families so he is going to take pictures so I can put faces to the names. What an incredible group of people and the kids all sound so amazing. I hope that each and every one of them see amazing results from these wonderful cells.
Ella was getting cheered on by their new friends as Don worked with her on standing:) That just touched my heart, they are an amazing support system. Everyone is there to help each other.
Fun little story….Don emailed KRNA yesterday and told them he was rockin’ out to them in China!! Now that deserves a free t-shirt or something don’t ya think! ha He was wondering if he would get a response back.
Don thought they would venture out to the Lotte Mart again yesterday and check it out further. Zoe is hoping that Daddy and Ella make it to some of the other markets we have seen pictures of because as she puts it,” I so need a piece of jewerly from China!” That is Zoe, 5 going on 15:)
So that is the update for now. It will be a different 4th of July without Don and Ella being here to celebrate with us. The kids and I along with my parents are planning on going to the Mt. P 4th of July parade this afternoon ( if the rain stops) and taking in some of the activities at McMillan park and then we have been invited to a cookout with some dear friends.
Have a Happy and Safe Holiday!

Happy 4th of July
Don and Ella
Glad to hear that you are meeting new friends and that you have alot of support from all the other families that are there with you
Also so glad that everything went good with the first stem cell treatment.
I think that you deserve more than a t-shirt from krna.How about a free trip somewhere!!!
So what is the weather and everything like there??? It’s raining here today. Been pretty nice and cool.
Take Care and our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you all during this special time and journey.
Love your sister Marcia

We had the next best thing to an all-American 4th of July picnic, here in Qingdao, China
Cake, ice cream, watermelon and beer!!!! All the families gathered, even our British and Swiss friends. Don and Ella joined the celebration too. Ella was very content, and even drifted off to sleep. She’s a little Angel. Don got lots of pics to send to you so you and the kids can feel a part of everything here.
Michael and I are leaving Tuesday, after being here 35 days. We’re happy to be going home, but will miss our new family! There’s a great group here, and they will all help Don with Ella and make them both feel at home (in their home away from home).
We pray for positive results for Ella, and plan to stay in touch.
Debbie Nicely and Michael Vincent
