Mark went for his third spinal stem cell at 5pm for what is normally a 20 min procedure and after 45 mins no sign of Mark, no-one tells us what is going on then after an hour we get the news that there is a complication and there are now 3 doctors with Mark and they attempt the spinal injection 5 times with no success after 2 hours they abandon the procedure and Mark is in a lot of pain. They then commence to insert the stems via IV Wendy the translator stays on until 7pm and has been very good with Mark but we still do not know what went wrong. We will ask for a consultation on Monday when the doctors resume their shifts for a full account of the problems. Mark is due his 6th stem by spinal on Wednesday before we leave on Friday we do not know at this point what will happen.
