Sixth Stem Cell Treatment – last one
Hi Everyone,
Austin just had his miracle cells. He had an IV treatment for his last one. They are so easy. It did take 3 tries to get the IV in. The nurses are great – it is just that Austin has veins that are hard to get to. It is so amazing to watch the stem cells go into the IV. He slept most of the time.
Austin has been showing more emotion lately. He cries when he is upset. He lets me know if something is bothering him. Now he often cries when I lay him down. It is good that he is letting me know things more. It makes things a little more trickier but I think it means he is more aware. He seems to be somewhat more alert. I feel like he is seeing slightly better (for those you don’t know – Austin has cortical vision impairment. His eyes are fine but his brain is so damaged that it is not able to understand what he is seeing.)
I feel like this has been a good trip. It has opened my eyes to many things. I have really enjoyed getting to know some of the Chinese people and learning about their culture. They are amazing people. Some things are so advanced here but some places it is like stepping back 30 years or more. China is changing and growing so fast. We have one more full day here and then we leave for home. I am so excited to get home but will miss many of the people here.
It was been a wonderful experience. The next time I write will probably be from home. Please wish us well for our long flight home. Prayers are so welcome!
Thanks for following our journey. I will update soon after we arrive home and will try to update every month.
Thanks again for being Austin’s Angels!!
