Kevin’s MS Blog

Visitor day at the OK Corral

December 10th, 2008

Tuesday, December 9th

Today was a regular physio and doc rounds…nothing out of the ordinary or so we thought. Every day, when the group of docs, nurses, therapists visit each patient, they ask, “Anything new….any changes”……so, yesterday, we beat them to the punch.  We took a couple of sheets of paper and listed all of Kevin’s complaints regarding his MS,  under “Before Treatment”….then we took two more sheets of paper and titled it “After treatment”.  

Then, we went through the list and marked the progress….I think that Kevin really surprised himself, too.  To say, he has gained, is an understatement and we can’t wait to see the changes that may come over the next 3 months.  When the docs came in, we showed them the list…..OHHH, AHHHHH….reading and translating …….pictures, pictures….more reading….more pics….congratulations, Kevin….you have done best of all patients here right now….All day long…..”May I read your list??!  OHHH, AHHH…congratulations!  You are doing wonderful……

Today, during physio, in walks the two founders of the program here….both are from the US…..they sat and talked with us for  an hour about Kevin and his MS and treatment.  They checked the list on the wall…apparently, it is now the new standard for every patient….they want everyone to list before and after….it’s a great idea….and a good way of measuring progress too.

Dr. Hakim came back in 3-4 more times during the day to chat and take pics…

Dr. HakimDr. Johnson and Dr. Hakim's son, who runs things over here, all came in to chat about things....

We had a party tonight…it is difficult for me to say goodbye to Ella and I took her for one last walk while her parents packed…..good bye, sweetie, I’ll really miss you alot. xoxoxo
