Friday, Oct. 24th 6th Injection

October 25th, 2008

Hello again.  Brooke just got back from having her 6th spinal injection and so far is doing GREAT.  Typically she does well but the next day is extremly tired and not hungry.  Brooke made it through without any problems.  She does get a bit anxious laying there for 6 hours but for the most part she is pretty good.  She does lift her head but you can’t stop that completly.  Still not too much improvement here.  I expect that if there will be any improvements itis going to be when we return home and she is back to her therapy and school.  I do believe I see the walking improvement already.   In January, Brooke will be starting Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy again.  I would like to do another Therasuit session but we have to have the funds for that. 

Yesterday afternoon we went to the Jimo Market again.  We only went back because Diane’s GUCCI purse broke and we needed to exchange it.  So of course I bought more.  Diane also insisted that we eat at McDonalds.  When we got there we had Big Macs and French Fries.  Diane also ate a hamburger.  We broght hamburgers home and froze them.  We had to take a taxi home and the driver we had started to pull over in this dark area.  We had no idea what he was doing or where he was taking us.  He said a few things in Chinese opened the door and proceeded to pee.  Diane and I were laughing so hard, Brooke even laughed too but she was laughing at us laughing. Only in China

Our neighbor Mike had his first spinal yesterday and he asked us to check on him (he is by himself).  He said is spinal took 2 hours and was painful.  He was not completely knocked out, only gave him a local.   He was fne.  He is an extremly nice man.  He is from New York. 

 Oh yeah, Linda and Thomas from Canada left yesterday, I am jealous but we are just a week away. 

It is now time to go to bed, it is late.  We miss everyone
