More Good News!

July 17th, 2009

I am a day behind on posting our latest “jump for joy” good news report so here goes……

Don Skyped me the other evening as he was awaiting the neurologist from downtown to arrive.  I was able to listen in as he examined Ella with his team in tow.  Again, wonderful people and just so very sweet.  I love how they all wave and smile at me and say hello.  I feel so much a part of everything even though I am 6000 miles away!

After examining Ella the doc concluded that she is getting stronger and that her muscle tone is getting better!!!  Yippee!  He believes with continued therapy both while they remain in China and when she returns home, those stem cells will just keep doing their thing and she will continue to make progress:)  Again, just more awesome news for us to celebrate and Ella has three more stem cell treatments to go!

Don and Ella went with a group of the stem cell family members for a walk to the lighted park the night before.  He said Ella did wonderful and was very good the whole time.  The lighted things were getting torn down but he said he did get some pictures of the outing. 

Don also had his first cheeseburger and fries courtesy of the Louisiana girls:)  They were at the Lotte Mart and picked it up for him….thanks you guys!  I just think it is fabulous how everyone helps each other out.  I know how good it makes me feel here at home knowing Don and Ella have all the other families to lean on so I can only imagine the feeling it gives those that are actually there going through this together. 

We are a little over half way through on our journey…..it is going by rather quickly.  Of course it does help that we video call three times a day:)

Thanks for the continued prayers,

Tanya
