Taking a Risk…
October 11th, 2009
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.

Michell, Glad to hear of your great success in class with the regular font and the test! You go girl, and stay positive, as those stem cells are still growing and then the brain has to catch up to the improvements the stem cells are making! Matt too is having these little breakthroughs. You are in our prayers and we think of our China friends often.

Thank you so much for giving me hope for my husband and I. Tonight I just cried and finally went to the computer and found your posts. You are making reat progress and here I was doubting my faith. My husband was diagnosed with LHON and he’s just turned 61 which is beyond the time most people get this terrible disease. Your positive attitude and posts are a great comfort. Please keep the world informed of your progress. This disease has made my husband blind in only a few short months, but your blog has given me hope. Thank you again.

Michell, it is WONDERFUL to hear of improvements for your eyesight! I am even more blessed to hear of you and your mother’s great faith in the Lord. You give my son and myself someone to follow on the stem cell journey. We are praying for the opportunity someday. My son has lost all central vision to LHON three years ago. He is twenty-three and graduating college this December. I hope we can encourage you to continue to share your experiences through this blog. God Bless you!!
