My new stem cells are working!

It has been less than 48 hours, and I am already feeling benefit from my new stem cells!  The first improvement I noticed was the chronic fatigue has lifted.  When we were going to bed Friday night around midnight, I felt "amped up" (similar to after drinking an iced chai latte).  I was able to stand up from my wheelchair and brush my teeth, standing straight up!  I haven't been able to do that for several months, usually having to sit.

Today, my arms had enough strength to fold two loads of laundry.  Pre-stem cells, I would have only been able to fold one pair of socks before my arms were too fatigued to continue.  I never thought I would be so elated to fold laundry!  Lourdes, our wonderful housekeeper, is going to be happy about this improvement. :)

One down, and nine more infusions to go!

Thank you to all those who continue to pray for and support me and my family.  We feel your love!

I am a blessed girl.

Humbly,
Julie
