First spinal update
Joshua had his first stem cell injection through an IV yesterday. He did good. It only took about an hour to complete. Most of the day we just laid around. I think we are still recovering from traveling here. It takes awhile to get adjusted.
About 7:00 last night we were bored so we finally ventured out by ourselves. Josh has been wanting to try KFC here, so we took him to the one in the RT Mart. When Kacie was here she really liked the shrimp sandwiches so Josh wanted to try one.We looked at the menu with pictures when we got there and we couldn’t find it. Nobody spoke enough english to understand what we were talking about so Josh just got some chicken and mashed potatoes. He said it was pretty good. Next time we’ll have someone write it down for us in Chinese.
We got Josh’s schedule for the week. He will have acupuncture today, wed. and thurs. Friday he will have his first spinal injection. Hopefully everything will go good. He’s a little nervous about it but I guess that’s to be expected. After Friday, he’ll know what to expect so he won’t worry about it so bad. Everyone here is super nice. Thank goodness for our translator Jessie. She has been a lot of help. I’d like to take her everywhere we go. That’s the hardest part is trying to communicate with people here. It gets very stressful.
Today after Josh’s acupuncture, we will probably venture out downtown and do a little shopping and hopefully try some different food. We get a little stir crazy sitting in this room all day. We miss everyone very much. We wish it was time to come home. As always we ask you pray for Josh that his treatments will go well. I’ll try and get some pictures on here soon.
