Pansy’s Ataxia Blog

Day 18 at the hospital-Improvements

September 14th, 2008

Pansy will not get off the plane and go dancing as she had planned–but her quality of life has improved. She has the correct colored toes, better circulation in her feet and legs. She says her hips feel lighter–she can roll out of bed now. She is still very dizzy–she has had this condition for a number of years–this makes waking very tough. Her writing has improved–her vision has improved–she does not have the jerky eye movements. She can feel her lips–the facial nerve was repaired by the stem cells. Her speech has improved. She does not need a straw when drinking–she can drink from a cup and not cough–the coughing seems to be almost completed cured. Dr. Bing says the stem cells will be hard at work for the next 60 to 70 days and that they will be on the job for up to 6 months, so more changes might be on the way. There needs to be a lot more research on stem cells lines
