Our Angel and the gift (stem cell treatments)
September 11th, 2009
Mackenzie Cheyenne was born 5 weeks early by emergency c-section only weighing 4lb 5oz. I was told it took 12-15 minutes to revive her. She stayed at Kosair Children’s Hospital for 5 weeks. Scans showed significant damage covering her whole brain. The neurologist said it looked like a bomb went off in her head, then diagnosed her with spastic cerebral palsy. Later she was diagnosed with cortical vision impairment, quadriplegia, microcephalia, and epilepsy. She has received physical, occupational, speech, and massage therapy, along with acupuncture, chiropractic, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. She has come such along way but still has a long way to go. I thank God every day we are able to take her to China for stem cell treatments. I have talked to many parents who have taken their children to different places for these treatments and I really feel China, well Beike Biotech is the best option. The people I have spoke with via phone and email have been very patient and helpful. I can’t believe we leave for Qingdao in 2 weeks. I am on an emotional rollercoaster. We have little things to do now before the trip. I will miss my son so much. It breaks my heart to leave him behind, but he understands why we are going.

I look forward to reading more about your journey to China. My son is 7 and his diagnosis sounds like your daughters. How old is Mackenzie? I hope you will post and let us know how it goes, I believe I am ready to make a change in the quality of Caleb’s life, and since this country is not allowing me to do that, I may take him to another.
Good Luck to you and your family!

I look forward to hearing from you and seeing pictures posted on how the princess is doing. I will miss seeing you and your family in wal-mart. I defiently will be keeping her and your entire family in my prayers. Just remember “everythings going to be ok” God is in control just trust him and have faith in him. I will also have my church family pray and i will give the web address to them so they to can keep in touch and write encouraging words to you and be updated on how shes doing. God Bless you and give Makenze a kiss for me and tell her i said i love her.
With Love,
your sister in christ and friend
