starving to dealth in China!

April 25th, 2007

Day two after injection is a painful one for JC. His back, glutious maximus (he did not want me to write bum cheeks), and leg muscles are really hurting. I asked the doctor for pain medication and they said that the physio today would be just for pain. We were hoping for some sort of great chinese remedy from ancient times, they gave him a heating pad…… It did not help, he did acupuncture which is pretty painful and sooooo deep and leg rap electrodes nothing helped so he waited for a couple of hours and I couldn’t stand seeing him in so much pain so I pulled out MY great remedy, extra strength Advil ( I asked the doctor first though because we wouldn’t want to kill the stem cells). He feels better.

His walking is soooooooooo much better, he said that if he wasn’t in so much pain he would be walking normal, quite a thing for him to say. He says he feels like he did a year ago, amazing when you think that he has had only one injection, five to go.

I woke up today with some blister like thing on the top of my foot, I asked the doctor she doesn’t know what it is, heeby jeebies I quess.

We can not find any food that satisfies us. I asked where we could get some chicken chow mein or chicken soo gi they looked at us like we had a couple heads and said chicken kentucky down road (KFC). We are eating pizza and chocolate bars so just junk. We need some fruits and veggies but don’t want to get sick. We are meeting up with some canadian teachers who run a private school here in a couple of days and they will show us where to eat, thank heavens. For those of you who know me they DO have diet pepsi here and I would be a crazy person without it.

We are so fortunate to have a web cam where we can talk to the kids and our family everyday, this helps more than you can imagine. We miss everyone so much but seeing them helps us go on with our day here.

They say that patients who come here with Frederic’s ataxia, ataxia’s and MS see almost instant results and spinal cord injury a little longer but there are definate results. There are also children with autism and people with other diseases which benefit from stem cells.

I am trying to docment JC’s progress with our video camera so that people can watch the improvement for themselves. (SEEING IS BELIEVING)

We have to go for more physio now, I’ll write soon.
