Note to Jul...

Hi Juls. I am so happy to hear that you have "beautiful" stem cells. Although, it doesn't surprise me.... You are so beautiful in every way that of course your stem cell would be also. : ) What a blessing. I missed talking to you today, but here are a few pics so you can see what the girls have been doing.
We went swimming at a really fun pool
On the way home from swimming, a friend down the street was selling bunnies.
The kids insisted that we go get one...and WHAA LA! We have 3. How did this happen? Jake bought them with his own money. We were a bit hesitant since we are not huge PET People. But I actually really like them the more I play with them. The kids spent about 3 hours tonight playing with them. They loved it!

Presh and B are buds now. She is sooooo good with her. All of them are so sweet with her.
All is well. We miss you and Love you so Much!

Doctor says my stem cells look beautiful!

Hola!

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
