Today was a pretty kool day. Joey popped up and got ready for PT. He did great. Mark started some new exercises but didn’t put Joey on the standing table. After wards we went back to our room and had an early lunch and Joey took a nap while getting his two IV’s. He had his usual OT and massage as well. Later this afternoon we had four of Joey’s doctors come to visit and discuss what will happen next. It usually takes 2 weeks to get enough stem cells for an IV treatment so looks like Joey will be busy still building his muscles and strength while we wait for the treatment. The doctors said that Mark (PT) will be trying to help Joey to re-learn how to walk. WE ARE SO EXCITED!!!!!!! THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!!!! WOOOOHOO!!
I am not sure if this means he will put Joey on another machine or what but he is ready.
Thank you EVERYONE for your comments.
More later….

Joey, I’m so proud of you! I know you’ve been waiting for this for years… I have faith in you, and know you’re a strong person. Good luck with your treatments! Jairet said to tell you hello and to keep up the good work. Dana, I know that you are very important to Joey and it means everything that you’re there with him. You’re a very dedicated mother and I admire that. Y’all take care! I love you both!
