Saturday, Oct. 25th 7 days to Go…the countdown begins
October 25th, 2008
Hello again. Brooke is great. This is the day after the spinal treatment and all is well. Brooke did not eat much today at all, must be the stem cells. Brooke did alot of walking today. We didn’t do much today because you have to hang around the hospital after stem cells. We did go for a walk to the Central Park here that is absolutely gorgeous. Brooke walked part of the way there with my assistance of course. Her steps seemed to be really good today. Her ability to sit seems a bit better as well. She still falls over but can sit longer then usual. Brooke loves going for walks and the more bumps you hit along the way the better the walk is. Well today, we broke Brooke’s stroller because of all the off roading we are doing with her stroller. The wheel fell off today. Luckily we were able to have the maintenance man from the hospital fix it. I thought for sure we were SOL because some of the parts to the wheel were missing. But we got it fixed.
For dinner tonight we went to the International Buffet. We had been there once before. Our neighbor Mike came with us. It was pretty good and felt wonderful to get out. The buffet is at this gorgeous five star hotel and feels like we are some what of a vacation for a couple of hours. There is alot of different food items on the buffet as you can imagine. The best thing about it is that it was only 100 RMB each. Which is only about seventeen US dollars. The buffet included duck, pork, beef, chicken, chicken feet, rice, salads, tons of seafood, tons of dessert, soups , breads, and fruit. It was very interesting to say the least but good.
Brooke has two more treatments next week. Monday is an IV and Wednesday is her final treatmetn via spinal. Saturday we leave at 11:30. I am anxious to leave but will miss the staff as well as some patients. The doctor’s and nurses are all so very nice. I want to say thanks to Dr. Bing for all he has done for Brooke. All the interpeters are great and thank you for everything. Wendy and Amanda are great. Thanks to the nurses for taking great care of Brooke.
Until tomorrow………
Kris, Diane , and Brooke
