August 15, 2007 – First Stem Cell Injection

August 18th, 2007

Today, after doctors reviewed Dave’s MRI, it was decided that he would be getting one IV injection of stem cells and three spinal injections of stem cells. The IV injection took about 45 minutes and went really well, with no side effects. This injection sends the stem cells throughout the body. The spinal injections send the stem cells directly to the brain for the central nervous system. Another session of acupuncture was done, this time we played music which helped in making Dave more relaxed. The electric wave therapy went well and there was no physical therapy today due to the stem cell injection. One thing we did notice today was that the color of Dave’s feet was that of a normal color. For many years now his feet have been purple due to poor circulation. Today, we were happy to see them looking so normal. We actually saw blood vessels pulsating in his feet as the blood was being pumped. Something is definitely working to have this positive effect!
