Good Evening!
Hello Again! I guess I should clarify my blog yesterday. The doctor does think that the stem cells will help everything- he just won’t get the results that he would have 5 years ago. We knew that already, but it just hurts a little to hear it again, especially when we have been told from all of our neuro’s from day one that stem cells were not an option! We can only pray for the best results we can get at this time. ANY improvement, no matter how small, will make this trip 100% worth it!
On a lighter note, we had a pretty fun day today! Brayden was so sore this morning from PT that he couldn’t even move! We told the therapist that he needed the day off! Poor kid- I know he is probably thinking he is getting tortured! Jason had to make a run to the store this morning, so the kids and I did laundry. Not too eventful until a nurse and I scared the pee out of each other! They have a really soft nature, so when they knock, it is very hard to hear them. I was putting away some laundry, and turned around and there she was! It was instant reaction for me to scream a little, and I think I really scared her bc she screamed too! She kept saying- So sorry, so sorry! Glad she didn’t walk in to me be being naked or something! Jason and I decided to brave the local scene, and take the kids for a picnic in the park. It is really beautiful. Lots of fountains, flowers, and little boys doing their business just about anywhere! Yep, they will just whip it out wherever they feel like it! It really made us feel at home!!! Heck, the little kids here have slits in the bootie part of their pants so they can just squat when they have to go. Tracie, I think I will bring some home for Kory! When we returned, Brayden had accupuncture. I think he is starting to really like it! He was awesome! When we got back to our room, the cleaning lady was there. She has made friends with Brylie. Brylie has taught her some English, and she taught Brylie how to say good-bye in Chinese (shay-she-in). Very cute! The lady calls the kids Barden and Barley. We got adventurous tonight and ordered chicken strips from what they call a bbq place. From what we heard, their bbq consists of something that gives you the poops! Luckily no one has had trouble with the plain strips, so we’ll see!
We hope to go to the ocean tomorrow, so probably no blog until Tuesday, since Brayden has his next injection on Monday. Thank you all again for the comments! We are suprised daily by the outpouring of support! I didn’t even know so many people knew that we were coming!! It is such an amazing feeling to know that you all are pulling for us! Hope you all have a great weekend!
