Goodbye to China
June 15th, 2008
It has been a difficult day, packing up and saying goodbye to some very special people. Everyone including hospital staff, patients, caregivers and the people of China have been wonderful and will be sadly missed.
Although the improvements that Doug has seen so far are minimal they are a step in the right direction and he will continue to fight this disease and wait for the stem cells to find their way to the problem areas and do the repairs that are necessary. He is certainly stronger and will continue to work at maintaining what was shown to him in China.
We will be leaving the hospital around 9:30 am and driving to Shanghai before catching our flight to Vancouver and then on to Regina. Then the longest 2 hours into Estevan. If all goes on schedule we should be home in 22 hours. Yikes!!!!
Doug and I are so very grateful to everyone for all the love and support we have received through this journey. We have enjoyed all of the comments and emails with words of encouragement to keep Doug positive. Continue with your prayers as we wait for further developments.
Once home I will try to keep you informed of any further improvements.
Love to all, Dar and Doug
