Allie is napping. We had a good night. Allie is perky today. The day after treatments is rough on all patients but she bounced back. Allie did get acupuncture yesterday, she did not cry as bad. also i had the electric wave hooked up to me a few days ago,they put it on my arms for 5 min. it made my muscles contract but did not cause discomfort.
We’ve met so many great people. One man is a science professor with two PhDs and one master degree. He is a very nice man, who was diagnose with ALS about 18 Mon. ago. He could not speak well and lost control of his hands. But after the first treatment he got his voice and hand control back!
Some people have gotten accu.for headache and back pain. I got a massage about a week ago. I got it from the “medicine man”. The guy killed me, so much pain almost intolerable, it was like acupressure, deep tissue and full chiropractic. I felt great after though. One of the Mom’s got one too and said the same thing. He also called in the translator and told her that she had liver and kidney problems and that she had to stop drinking soda and start eating better. One of the therapists can diagnose any problem by looking in your mouth and at your hands. He told one mom that she had heart problems.
More to follow.

Allie had a good day today. We went to the park. It was realy cool. Then 8 of us went out to dinner. It was great! Allie did awsome. I’ve got it on the video. The food came out on a lazy susan in the middle of the table, and we all had flame lit boals in front of us. The food is raw and it cooks in the bowl. We had beef, lamb,live scallops,clams,lamb,spinach,lettuce,shrimp, potatoes, three diff. mushrooms, tofu and a few other things. They had five waiters attending to us the whole time. They put whatever you want in the bowl and you take it out and put it in your choice of dipping sauce, and eat. The meat is very thin slice so it cooks fast. Allie ate alot of stuff; beef, lamb, potato, tofu, and was very attentive the entire time. She was in her stroler with sm. brace. wheeled right up to the table.. So was Austin.,very cute. There is a fish tank that the seafood comes from. An experience i will never forget. We drank alot of beer as well. The whole meal was less than 500 yuan! Allie was so cute walking back, lots of neon lights she was looking at . I gave her a bowl of yogurt mixed with the baby cereal (her new favorite), a bath and we went to the boy’s room next door to share our experience. She watched him play for a few min. then i put her to bed. No crying, right out! Well it is now 1100 pm and I must go to bed.
