Day 22….Stem Cell Transfer 5
- Sleeping through the 5th Stem Cell Transfer
Hello Again;
This morning started off with a visit from Dr. Apple which was pretty routine. She took London into the the dark bathroom and checked her eyes and they once again dilated and we were thrilled to say the least.
Next was Physical Therapy and London was difficult again and wanted no part of it today. Since we couldn’t get much done in the therapy department we went on to Electric Wave Therapy which she enjoys. When everything was done we returned to our room for a little lunch and Dr. Apple returned with the results of the MRI London had done yesterday. After comparing them with her infant MRI there was little change. We didn’t expect any change with the MRI it’s just too early. It was extremely interesting to see the parts of the brain that are under developed and she answered all our questions. Only time will tell just how much improvement she may get from the stem cell transfers which will continue to grow long after we have returned home. Continuing her therapy will be an essential part of her growth both physically and developmentally. For now we will have to be patient and continue our prayers.
As everyone is aware by now it was London’s 5th stem cell procedure this evening. They had kept her IV in from Monday and kept flushing it out a couple times a day so they wouldn’t need to poke her again. We were called up to the 9th floor at about 8:20 PM they hooked her all up to receive her stem cell transfer but the IV was apparently clogged up and they ended up taking the IV out and putting in a new one. She cried her pretty little head off then fell asleep in grandma’s arms and received her stem cells. We finished about 9:30 PM and she is now sleeping like the little angel she is and all I can think about is what a blessing it is to have London in our lives.
That’s about all I have to report today and I will let you know how her night went tomorrow.
Goodnight, Ruby, Jessie and London
