Tuesday, Oct. 28th. Nearing the end of our long journey.
Hello all. We are preparing for our journey to end. Tomorrow will be a busy day for Brooke. We are going downtown for an MRI and 9:00 a.m. then Brooke’s final Stem cell treatment. I have insisted that Brooke get and MRI while here. I thinks it is important to see where the damage is and how severe it is. The doctor’s here do not think it is neccessary.
When we return home I am going to focus more on an exercise program at home for Brooke. With the increased therapy during the week and a home exercise program, Brooke will gain more results. After waiting the 90 days, Brooke will be receiving Hyperbaric oxygen therapy again. I would also like to do another intense therapy program. But of course this all takes ALOT of money, which we don’t have. It is hard to do therapy here with Brooke so we do get her out alot and practice walking. I am also going to work on getting my husband into more of a routine of helping me out with this. Brooke is only going to progress if we push her to her limits and with these new stem cells we have no choice.
There are certain things that I will not miss about China. They are the limited food choices, pollution, the awful smells that we encounter, children with crotchless pants, dog head, the driving, crossing the road, tight living quarters, living so closely with mom (lol), sharing the kitchen facilities, only having a shower, hard beds, and not having my family here with me.
Diana, when we return to therapy I want Brooke to be pushed and pushed hard. We need to work alot on her trunk control. She is ready for it.
Utnil tomorrow…….4 more days.
Kristine, Diane, and Brooke
