I was diagnosed with MSA earlier this year, although I have had symptons for about the last 3 1/2 years at first they thought they were caused by minor strokes. How did you first hear about the hospital in China & get in touch with them. Its some months later do you really feel improvement? I'm so excited to read about your journey. If at all possible please e-mail me and fill me in on some of the back ground of how you got to where you now are. God bless and give you many good days. Vi Dear Jim;

It has been an honor for us to be included in this intimate quest to try and improve Jim's condition as well as the contribution this make to stem cell research. Your communications have been very upbeat even when the days have not necessarily been so. We keep you both in our prayers daily that there will be some medical success in this for Jim and that the trip home will be a safe and easy one. John & Ingrid Dear Billie & Jim;

The Salute to the Arts was also going on and to be honest the art was rather dismal. - alot of the same kinds of things....pears, landscapes, and earth toned abstracts....I think your adventrues and challenges there sound much more interesting and memorable. It has been incredible for us to share in your adventure there. it has been a highlight to our days!!! We have sensed the profound closeness such an experience provides and that is one of life's greatest gifts - between Billie's beautifullly written blogs and Jim's storytelling we feel blessed to have had and will have a glimmer of what it was like . Sending all best wishes for a very good week!!! So much love awaits you here - along with fresh peaches, melons and luscious tomatoes...XOXOXO Frances Dear J & B,

Can't get enough of the info and visuals Billie creates so beaurifully in her writing...there is a future there...or a documentary....it truly makes our day to read news from your world. It seems all of your contacts have been interesting and perhaps very helpful....Jim's charm has spanned the continents, making friends wherever he goes...all of which are so ready and willing to DO ANYTHING for him.....We are continually amazed by your sense of humor and adventure!!! I just got back from a trip to Santa Barbara with LIli - she had orientation....the school is impressive in so many different ways - the beauty of the campus, the level of scholarship and the extraordinary opportunties that await the students make me wish I were 18 again.....the only diversity on campus however seems to be 60 shades of blond....Lili fit right in - I only saw her at bedtime.....she is ready to fly the coop! Dorothea and Saul have parted ways, she is happy about it and is up at the "Reggae on the River" for three days rockin out. We think of you every day and send so much love your way! Hugs and kisses from all of us, Frances Dear J & B,
