I saw Dr. Paz, director of the clinic, and he told me that he was at the lab and my stem cells that were extracted look beautiful. They are great! :)
One of my dear friends, Terrie is an artist and she sculpted this adorable Prayer statue and gave it to me. It is a reminder to me of all the people who are holding me in prayer. I bring her with me to all my treatments.
When having my mini-lipo to retrieve my stem cells, I asked if I could bring her into surgery. One of the doctors said to leave her with my husband, then Dr. Hernandez offered to hold her for me while in the O.R. Here is the picture he took...
I just got home from my first intrathecal (spinal) stem cell injection. It went very well. After prepping my back, the actual injection only took two minutes. The gentleman in the stripped shirt is one of my doctors, and the other gentleman is an assistant. I was nervous, so he sang to me "Don't Worry, Be Happy!". (side note, do the doctors look really young or am I just getting older?)
Thanks for all of your love and prayers,
Julie
