Home again
I will take a moment to bring you up to date since we have been home since September. Jane is eating more on her own now because I insist she do it. I will help when she asks. I provide all the food and other care since she has not been able to move her legs and stand on them yet. She thought she would be healed for good in China and I think she was very disappointed so is not fighting like she should. The stem cells need her to move more and especially on her own in a positive thinking way to get better faster. She can move her left foot and toes but are weak and can not keep it going long enough and then gives up. Same with the right arm and hand and right leg. She does not want to talk much even though she can. I am still getting her equipment to help with the PT and OT. I am her only source for now on those two issues. Before leaving Beijing, both the PT and OT therapists said Jane was showing more strength in her midsection muscles and her neck and left arm but without the same intensity of PT and OT she is losing the gains. She also has to deal with me only but there she had others she liked and trusted to help. So the stem cells are there and the doctors said would continue to mature and be effective but will be slower without the PT. We will be using some equipment soon to help I hope. Any in home aids are hard to find that we can afford which would really benefit her. But for now we keep trying our best and hoping for the best. I will enter more at another time, thanks and bless you all. Never say Never. Jake and Jane Osborne
