As I write this, Carolyn is having a wonderful back massage as her physical therapy, a much needed break. The therapists are always asking for your feedback to make sure you are getting what you need.
After therapy we will have the rest of the day to do some shopping and sightseeing. It will be good for everyone to get out of the hotel for a while.
Tomorrow is Carolyn's last day of treatment and it will be full. Two hours of physical therapy and then her last intrathecal injection and last adipose derived stem cell injection (just like yesterday.) I read today that she will have received about 83 million adult stem cells during this treatment. She can expect to see the best results after being home for six weeks.
Blessings to you all and we looking forward to seeing you soon!
we miss you, too, brother!

Howdy! I can hardly believe that 2 weeks is almost up!!! Carolyn has done amazingly as God continues to be amazing!!! My prayers will continue... even after you all come home. I hope the following scripture will bring additional comfort, showing God's love for us as we endure suffering. It is also a great example of how God uses medicine to bring healing. Much love, Nichole
ReplyDelete2 Kings 20:1-7 (NIV)
Hezekiah's Illness
1 In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to him and said, "This is what the LORD says: Put your house in order, because you are going to die; you will not recover."
2 Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD, 3 "Remember, O LORD, how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes." And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
4 Before Isaiah had left the middle court, the word of the LORD came to him: 5 "Go back and tell Hezekiah, the leader of my people, 'This is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you. On the third day from now you will go up to the temple of the LORD. 6 I will add fifteen years to your life. And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for my sake and for the sake of my servant David.' "
7 Then Isaiah said, "Prepare a poultice of figs." They did so and applied it to the boil, and he recovered.
So happy to hear Carolyn is feeling better, had a wonderful massage, and is "out on the town!" It sounds like there will be another down time after tomorrow's treatments, but then you'll be on the home stretch--PTL!! My prayers continue with great anticipation of what God is accomplishing!! Can't wait to give all of you a personal hug!! Love, Grace
