“a voice with a purpose”

August 14th, 2009

Well, it has been 2 months since my first IV infusion of stem cells in Qingdao, China.  The doctors say you should start seeing results in 2 to 6 months and of course i am patiently waiting for something to happen.  I will say that EVERYONE i have talked to agrees that my speech is better and i have noticed that i am able to talk for longer periods of time in the classroom without having to stop and take a drink or a rest.  Last year i would choke easily when speaking and i would have to take breaks to have a drink of water or swallow and regroup.  This year i am able to speak for much longer and do not feel the strain in my throat.  This is a  HUGE change that i desperately needed and am so thankful for.  I need my voice to teach and to mother Noah- obviously, but when it was uncomfortable to speak, it made it hard to fully express myself- which is definitely frustrating.  So although i have not felt much of a change in my legs- i have in my throat and i am so very thankful.  The prayers continue to work.
