#4 done!
well, 4 down 4 to go! This last one was a breeze. Mallory was getting very impatient laying there for 6 hours, wouldn’t eat or drink anything and whined a lot, but we got through it. The translators are very helpful and the other families are just great! #5 is on Monday. Less than 3 weeks to go. And let me tell you that we are ready to come home. The weather has been crappy rainy so we haven’t been able to get out over the past couple of days.
There has been a lot of complaining about the conditions in this place. I didn’t have hot water for 2 days and really no water pressure all day Friday. I’ve got to say that I am very disappointed in the accomodations. This place wouldd be shut down in the US. But, the therapy is fantastic. Mallory’s therapist, Dr. Tom, thinks she is getting stronger. It is hard to tell for me.
I have had many questions from people whether I have seen any improvements yet. I don’t think I have. I have been told that we will see improvements as time progresses, just to be patient. I have noticed that Mallory is trying harder to lift her head up and her eyes don’t seem to shake as much. The doctors tell me that 2-6 months is usually the time frame to really see Mallory thrive. Ryan and I are already contemplating another round of stem cells, just not in China. Maybe the Phillipines or Panama. We’ll see. but for now, we all have to be patient and hope for the best. Thanks for all of your good thoughts….I need some pick-me-ups to get me through this! Mallory keeps me going and is such a little sweetie.
More to come
Almost forgot, the Christmas songs always put a smile on my face! Fa-ra-ra-ra-ra (hee hee)
