Hello everyone,
I’m walking better – my left leg hardly drags anymore. I still don’t have my balance good enough to take off across the floor. I’m walking quite well using parallel bars. I don’t really hang onto them, I just brush up against them to keep my balance. Physio continues to be very helpful. It’s still hard to tell if the stem cells are helping yet, but I think so. I had my third transplant Monday via IV and on Friday I have another stem cell injection into my spinal cord.
Nicole and I are having a blast shopping in between physio treatments. She got a pair of gorgeous boots yesterday for $10. We’re also are having a blast shopping for knock-offs. The malls 10 min away, $1 taxi ride. We’re getting used to crossing street amid the melee of cars, bikes & people going every which way. A crosswalk doesn’t matter, everyone and everything’s whizzing around you as you cross.
Hope you are all well.
Love Char

Hi Char,
It is so encouraging to hear you are walking better! It sounds like the physio and injections etc. are really having a good outcome. I couldn’t be happier for you!
I am also glad to hear that you and Nicole have figured out how to navigate the busy (crazy) traffic and get out and have a blast shopping. Personally I LOVE knock offs!!! You go girls.
Lots of love and prayers,
Cheryl xoxoxo

Hi Char, Glad to hear you are doing well–you are in our thoughts and prayers. Wonderful to hear you are getting more strength in your leg. Congradulations on the arrival of you new Grand baby. So sorry that you were not home for the delivery, I know how important it was for you to be here. Sounds like you are having some exciting adventures. Are you home sick? Thinking of you. Anne

Hi Aunt Char!
I am so sorry you have been going through all of these trials, praise God for your faith! Can you imagine going through something like this without the love, peace, and hope of the Lord? I am sure your good attitude about your health will shine through to others and encourage them to seek that peace. I know how hard it is to keep a good face on things and fight that horrible depression. Let me just encourage you to keep the faith and seek the Lord in all things. I love you and I am praying for you, and I really pray this helps you. I will continue to look for updates, feel free to get back to me, I would love to hear from you!
