Ryan Dickerson's Blog

Hello All,

   Ryan is now resting from his last spinal stem cell treatment.  After this last treatment, he was very agitated and moving around, so the doctor’s gave him some valium to calm him down.  We are starting the process of getting everything together for packing and going home.  Tomorrow, Dan is going to the local special needs children’s center to donate the adapted swing we brought.  The hospital would not relent on installing the swing on the floor, so we had to find another home for it.  On Sunday, we will have brunch with some of the staff and another gentleman we know before leaving.  This morning, Sarah gave Ryan and I an impromptu piano concert.  She has improved greatly in the last several weeks.  Ryan was listening intently and smiled when she was talking.  We are all ready to go home and see our girl.  As usual, it will be hard to say goodbye to the staff here.  We have spent over 3 months living and working with them this year and have developed friendships with many of them.  It is disappointing that the U.S. Govt. is so strict in giving Visas, as we would love to have some of our friends visit.  I will try to write one more time before leaving and post the pictures on flickr.  Thanks for reading and commenting.  Take care.  Dan
