Almost 2 Months Post China

We are almost 2 months post China. WOW time flies fast. We were told at the beginning of our China trip that we will see improvements up till six months post China with the full results and most major results at that six month mark. Some of the other things we were told was that some things will get worse before better, but these are the things that would ultimately improve the most. The other thing I heard is it that the Stem Cells will first improve the issues that is harder for people to see, example; Vision, cognitive impairment, seizures, reflux, etc. When we were in China, right away we noticed Joey's vision improving. We also noticed his body was a bit looser. However he began grinding his teeth even worse then before we went to China. His grinding has definitely gotten better since we got home. His vision and cognition are still improving. He is focusing a lot now. We have a vision test when we go to San Diego for his Sensory Learning therapy. His body is not as loose as it was, but still looser then when we began our journey. He rolls now from his back to tummy, not every often, but he didn't do this at all before. He is also vocalizing a lot more. His 'I love u's" and ' Hello's' are a lot clearer.

So now I am wanting to go back to do Stem Cell Therapy again at that 6 month mark. I have learned that the more you do it in the shortest amount of time the better results. The MAJOR issues are MONEY and TIME. So I am thinking about taking Joey to Costa Rica this next time. It is only a 1 week trip and about $16,000. I have had three friends take their kids here and they have also seen great results, so I feel good about trying Costa Rica. Also when you make return visits to Costa Rica it only cost $8,000 instead of $16,000. That's a plus. I have some friends going in February and I have talked to one of my friends who is a single mom and we talked about rooming together and helping each other, so husband and kids could stay home. BUT, again the issue is MONEY $16,000. So we will see, if not February then spring or summer.

We ordered Joey his wheelchair. I'm so excited about getting it. He has gained 3 lbs since China. This is the most he has gained in almost three years. WHOO HOO! except for my back. Boy does it feel that extra weight. I am going to have to start thinking about getting a van with a ramp.

Otherwise everything else here at the Stafford house is going great. Holidays are coming which means camping with our Best friends and great memories with the whole family.

WHATEVER IT TAKES! NO MATTER WHAT!
