2 to go
December 5th, 2008
5 down and 2 to go. The last spinal stem cell left me feeling like I got run over by a truck……..a small truck but a truck none the less. A minor headache and a little back pain but feel much better today. The next one is Monday and then Friday and that the end. Almost at the end of this journey, its left me in high spirits but I feel so very, very tired.
Now that I’ve been feeling better we’ve gone on a few outings. One was to the Silk Market and Silk Factory……….lets just say I bought some silk 
It was actually very interesting, they took us through a little tour on the silk making process. They boil the coccons, take out the silk worms and spread the wet silk. The woman who works in the water with the silk is over 70 years old, they call her grandma and her hands look so young, very soft and smooth, amazing. We asked what they do with the dead worms, they use everything, and so its grounded up to make skin care products………yup I bought some of that too.
Today we took a drive up around tea mountain, absolutly beautiful and then to a pagoda that overlooked West Lake. This place is truely beautiful, I’ve never seen anything like it. I think sometimes we forget to appreciate the opportunities that happen to fall into our path, myself included. I try to remember that whatever misery life throws our way, we are surrounded by so much beauty, we only have to look to see.
Missing you but not the snow

Hi Leslie,
You and your family have been on our hearts and minds as you have been in China receiving your treatments. It’s encouraging to see that things are going well. We know that it’s not easy, but the roads of life are like that sometimes – but we look forward to smooth traveling in the end. So we want to encourage you to keep the faith and press forward to positive results – victory. We remember you in our prayers for we know that God is faithful to help us and sustain us and to give us strength. These are encouraging words found in Proverbs 3:5-6
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight
Our best regards to you all,
Cal & Gloria Perry

Leslie,
You are my Hero. I can’t believe your attitude. “As a man thinks in his heart so is he”. Keep on believing for the best. I am praying every day that each treatment will take to your body as if you were born with those stem cells. Attitude is everything, and you certainly have what it takes. Say hi to Ma and Pa for me. Safe journey home!
Luv,
Aunt Tina
