We hope you all had a good weekend. We had physical therapy Saturday with elec. acupuncture, elec. stims, computerized machine for the wrists to strengthen, standup frame, and range of motion, massage, strengthening and flexibility exercises on the mat. That was pretty much our morning and early afternoon. We are becoming very daring; no, it’s just Wayne has had enough rice and noodles fixed anyway you can. We wanted to show we’re versatile so we went to Kentucky Fried Chicken. I was really thirsty so I tried to buy a bottle of water. In Chinese this cost 2RMB’s or a quarter in our currency. I tried 3 places to give them 2 bills, each 1 RMB and they refused. I was really frustrated and when we returned to the hospital I found out why. I had received counterfeit money from KFC. I think we’ll stick with McDonalds! Jarrett enjoys “haggling ” on the streets. The Chinese place their goods on the sidewalks and you can barter with them. He has quite a collection. Sunday we enjoyed some quiet time together. This was the first Father’s Day we’ve ever spent away from the kids and I usually see my Dad. We talked to them on the phone, but it’s not quite the same. Physical therapy was done today by Jarrett and I. In the hospital the staff works 6 days a week. I’m writing this while Wayne is in the procedure room receiving his second stem cell injection. There are 12 pts. receiving injections today. The cells arrived late so the procedure didn’t start until after 4:30p.m. Wayne is back in his room talking and no pain. They must have used only minimal anesthetic. I am also learning patience its not easy being on the waiting side not knowing. i hope this will heighten my sensitivity for pts. We’ll close for now “Have Faith in God.” Jesus answered. “I tell you the truth,” if anyone says to this mountain,’Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what He says will happen it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.’ Mark 11: 22-24 God Willing Wayne and Deb
