Kyle’s Schizencephaly Blog

Relaxing Day

July 23rd, 2009

  Kyle did fine after his final spinal stem cell treatment. He woke up in a good mood and ate some of the cereal that Aunt Ann and Uncle Geno sent him. We did ok in his morning therapy, but he didn’t do his best, he was a little lazy. Jason had hand weights on Kyle’s hands while he was in the stander today. He raised his hands up and down while in the stander. After therapy Dr. Tony checked Kyle’s eyes today. He said that he did worse on the eye test than last time. I am not worried though because I don’t think Kyle even knew what letter “E” Dr. Tony was pointing at. The eye test is done in the lobby and there was a lot of distraction, so we’ll take him to the eye doctor when we get home.

  After the eye test we had Sam, the driver from the hospital take us downtown. It was so nice, we rode in a new Buick instead of the taxis. We also listened to Britney Spears on the way there, how more American can you get? We went to the Jimo Mart and I finally found Kyle a souvineer from China. I got him a silk Chinese robe and a pair of Chinese pajamas. I was so excited that I finally got him something. Mrs. Sandy changed behind a curtain in the Jimo Mart. The Chinese ladies wanted to make sure that the dress she wanted fit her. It was so funny, Mr. Dennis took a picture of her behind the curtain! Next we went to the Tsingtao Brewery. Kyle didn’t want to taste the beer, he’s such a good boy. Then we went to Star Bucks, but Kyle did taste the frozen coffee. He really wanted to go to Pizza Hut, which was right beside Star Bucks, but I don’t love the Pizza Hhut, so we went to McDonald’s instead. We finally made our way back to the hospital. We went downstairs to hang out with our Louisiana friends because they leave tomorrow. We’re sad to see them go, but we know how excited they are to leave because we are leaving in just a few days.

  Tomorrow we will have our last stem cell treatment at 3:30. Kyle is very excited that it is an IV so it doesn’t interrupt with his eating. Saturday will be a full day of work and Sunday we are going on a mountain tour with Mrs. Diana and Matt. I’m not sure if he will have therapy on Monday, but I do know that we will be headed home on Tuesday!
