Stem Cells are In!
Praise God! Our trip today to get stem cells went great. The only difficulty was getting the IV in Luke, but that is how it is every time they have to put one in. He has been blessed with my tiny veins, which are very hard to find. Dr. Ramierez administered the stem cells this afternoon around 2:00, so now it is just a wait and see (and pray a lot,) game. They said on average it takes about 3-4 weeks to see results, sometimes longer, sometimes shorter. The guy that drove us to Mexico was very friendly. He has been doing this for a long time and said he has seen great things. They have another child who is now 16 coming back on Thursday for his 6th treatment. He is now walking and talking, where as before he said he was absolutely doing nothing. I have to say, the clinic in Mexico was nicer that I expected...I would have pictures, but I dropped my camera right before they put the cells in and it broke. Thanks so much for all of your prayers and support...please continue to pray for those cells to go where they need to go for continued restoration in Luke's brain. Believe!
