Hello everyone, hope you all are well. It’s been two day since her treatment and things are going well. She still having leg cramps and she seems to be tired more easily. My thoughts are that the stem cells are doing their job. When Jessie was first hurt I remember the doctors telling me that it took a lot more energy to heal a brain then any other part of the body. Other wise she is doing well. We’ve gone out on some outings, but Hangzhou as well as other cities in China are not wheelchair friendly, so it’s been a challenge for all of here to get around. Yes we have done some shopping, can’t go some where with Jessie and not shop that just wouldn’t be natural no matter how tired she gets. There are some bargains to be had but for the most part it is about the same as USA.
Mom is going to have stem cell therapy while she is here. The doctors seem to think that stem cells help her type of problems with more success and in shorter period of time then nerve damaged patients. Hope it works, even if it means a year without pain it would be worth it. Well I’ll let you all know how it turns out.
Keep safe and our love to all,
Linda and Jessie
PS. Michael and Ryan, glad to hear classes are going well for both of you. I’m so proud you are doing so well at home and at school. Miss you both so much. Can’t wait to see you soon.
