June 8th Friday
It’s 5 a.m. and we are wide awake. We have checked the names on all the doors on this floor and there are 19 pts. and they only allow four from the U.S. at one time. The other pts. are from all around the world. Wayne had another physical, P.T. evaluation, bloodwork and EKG. Many pts. require additional testing but luckily Wayne doesn’t. Wayne received an IV of a special Chinese medicine and will get daily. Deb quizzed them unmercifully but was unable to find out the drug or herb used. His first P.T. started with acupuncture connected to electrical stimulation. The needles were 2 inches and were embedded into approx. 15 sites on his arms and legs. There were many pts. lined up with needles inserted everywhere on their body. It is overwhelming to see so many people with different handicaps. The strength, courage, faith and hope that is continually displayed makes us know we are all God’s people. Honestly, our rehab equip. at St. Louis Rehab and even at our home is more modern than what they have to offer. We’re quick to say we haven’t seen everything yet so our attitudes remain positive. Tonight we met 3 of the other U.S. pts and their families. Don’t let anyone say there can’t be an instant bond with people. We are readily becoming fast friends. There are no English channels on the tv so the internet is our only source to the news back home. We have been notified tonight that Wayne is scheduled for his first stem cell injection on Monday June 11 at 3 p.m. Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; Knock and the door will be opened to you. for everyone who asks – receives. He who seeks-finds, and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. Matthew 7: 7-8 God Willing Wayne and Deb
