Hello to Everyone!
I’m so glad for those of you following my journey through this stem stell process, even though I’m back from China and trying to live life to its fullest.
I’ve been so lucky to meet so many wonderful and amazing people through this site, and on facebook. You may tell me that I’ve changed your lives and give you hope or what not, but to be honest you guys are my modivation to keep writing and to be encouraged each day by each and everyone of you whether you know it or not.
Sometiems its hard to know that I’m doing the right thing by networking with so many people. I know its the right thing to do, and it is something I like to do, but some people might not agree.
it’s so much fun to talk to you guys to see what you have gone through, and I know I’ve been there and will help you through this. We can all help each other, because we are a team.
We all fight for sight! It doesn’t matter how long it takes us, but one day it will happen. We have hope, faith, and will never stop believing.

To be honest, I’m usually not much of a risk taker, but for some reason I decided to take a risk on my grade the other day.
I was sitting in second period, which is my math class at that time and realized we had a quiz. Quizzes aren’t worth much points, but its worth as much as a homework grade, which is about 10 points. My math teacher forgot to get it in large print, so I just tell him it was alright and I’ll take the quiz usuaing a regular font.
I thought this was a good way for me to test or see if the stem cells were really working for me and I wasn’t just playing mind games with myself or something. And if I didn’t do so well ont he quiz, I could of just explained it to my teacher or just accept it and try better next time.
Well, I finish the quiz pretty much the same time as the res tof studnets, which was good because it usually takes me longer to take quizzes and tests. Well, I was surprised, because I thought it took me a long tiem to read it, but I did just ifne. I read all the questions with no problem. Now, all I had to do was patiently await my results of this quiz.
About 3 days later I get the quiz back. I don’t even want to look at my score, for fear it might be terrible and come towards reality that I haven’t had any improvements with the stem cells or something. Well…little did I know, I got a 100% on this quiz I was so happy!
Just thinking back towards last year, I couldn’t even do that well with Braille, Large Print, and a CCTV. Now, I can do so well with just a regualr copy and pencil. It was awesome! Now, it doesn’t matter what doctors say or what people tell me. That was proof enough that those stem cells are working and will continue to work in the coming months. I have no doubt about it.
Anywyas…I will be sure to post more as tiem coems and if I have any great stories about improvements or about me in general I guess.
Stay tuned…Never know what the future will bring for me.

The weirdest things seem to happen to me, but no one else. I guess it’s a good thing.
I don’t even know where to begin. Well, it all started off when I was in China and got some kind of bug bite while I was thre. It was on my finger on my right hand. It wasswollen from the tip of my finger and quickly spread throughout my hand and up towards my arm. It was weird cause I’ve never had this happen to me before. Well, I didn’t think much of it, and just took the medicine the doctors gave me and some sort of cream stuff. It healed in a matter of a week or so.
I didn’t realize it, but apparently after that bug bite went away, my vision started improving. It was nothing major, but some more slight improvements. My mom and I both noticed, but of course we didn’t say it was because I had a bug bite, because that would sound a bit ridiculous.
Well, it’s been 3 months since I’ve returned from China. And since then I’ve had about 5 more bug bites at different times. They start off fairly small and quickly get swollen and can be quite painful. It will take about a week or so for it to completely heal. I usually don’t get bit by things, and if I did it wouldn’t be that often anyways. So, I was trying to figure out what was going on. It was weird…
My mom told me that she noticed everytime after one of my bug bites would heal, she would tell me my vision would of gotten a little better. I would tell her I can read the clock, read a standard size font, and little things like that. I would just tell her my improvements, not knowing that it was always after a bug bite.My friends and family have found it quite amusing, but in my opinion its quite confusing. I don’t know what’s going on and why its happening to me, but at this point I’m going to take it as a good thing. I’ll just appreiate what I have and not think more of it.
My family and I strongly believe that it can be a reaction from the stem cells. I’ve heard of other vision patients having itchy eyes, headaches, and things liek that. And after that was all over, they’ll start seeing improvements. So, maybe for me its getting bug bites. ‘ll never know, but if this is God’s healing for me, I’ll just take it and enjoy every moment of it. I thank God for every bit of improvement I get, and will NEVER complain about it.
For most people, this could be just a funny story, but to me its something thats true. I could just be confused and this could be a conincodence, but who knows, I don’t think I’ll never know for sure though.
But to this day, after 3 months I’m still seeing improvements. I pray that I see more improvements in the next 6 months to come.
Hope everyone else I’ve got the pleasure of meeting in China is doing well and are also seeing significant improvements.
God Bless Everyon
