Wednesday 4-11-07 – 4 days until we leave
Well we are half way through Wednesday leaving on Sunday so we are almost done. The last stem cell when well, they started at 5 pm so Kendra slept until 7 am the next morning and of course I had to wake her up for therapy lol. I can’t believe she slept all those hours. I rolled her off her back around 12 midnight and she never even woke up.
Seizure activity is down I see a little things here and there but nothing major so thats a plus. I thought maybe it would go back up after the last spinal but nothing ever came about. Kendra is having another good day here Dr. Mike is very happy with her muscle for her arms getting softer and coming down quite a bit but still have work to do on them. I am hoping once we get back in the hot tub it will help them the rest of the way. I really need to find a doctor who will approve the e-stim. I was thinking about the machine itself and I don’t think it will work at home even with the convert. The convert go from 220 to 110 I don’t think they make them the other way. If I can find a doctor back home to write the scrip the insurance should pay for it so I will work on that when I get back home. No word here anyways on the machine and if I do spend the money on it will it work or not would be the big question.
It is pretty exciting over here because the doctors actually like to do things for Kendra not like back home just want me to give up. They all seem excited over every little thing and look to try different things with Kendra. So I am glad I came.
I hope you are planning on getting rid of that snow and cold before I come home, you better hurry up lol.
One of the customs they have over here if one of your family members are in the hospital the family brings them their meals to eat. I thought that would get pretty time consuming three meals a day if you were in two weeks WOW. But you see people coming in with pots and dishes of food on the way to patients rooms.
I have a lot of picture from China so I think I will just post them on the blog when I get home it might be easier for everyone to see them faster than waiting for me to get to your house to visit lol.
I have to leave for Lancaster on Wednesday morning April 18th so I won’t be around too much the week I get back.
HAPPY 70TH BIRTHDAY MOM SEE YOU SOON AT LEAST I GET OUT OF BUYING YOU A PRESENT GOOD EXCUSE RIGHT
Talk to you all later
Love
Sarah and Kendra
I love you Daddy – Elmo
I wanted to thank each and every one of you for all your help with Kendra. The doctors back home tell me to give up and this is the first group of people who actually try to make a difference in Kendra’s life. I am so thankful that I am here and everyone has been so positive for a bright future for Kendra. I cannot say thank you enough for all the support that you have given me and my daughter during our stay here in China.
Thank you so much
Love Sarah and Kendra Reese
