A Specific Prayer...

This weeks schedule is intense with physical therapy everyday and FOUR stem cell injections. Two in the spine and two intravenous. The IV injections are putting my own stem cells back into my body.  These stem cells not only repair damage, but they work on "fixing" the immune system.

As you are praying for me, please pray specifically for my body to continue to welcome these new stem cells, and be strong through the process.  Sometimes, it all seems like too much to bear.  It is these times that the thoughts, prayers, love, and support of others hold me up.

Here is a picture of some of the new friends I have made at the Stem Cell Institute. They each are inspiring in their own way. The three gentlemen in the wheelchairs are being treated for spinal cord injury. The gentleman standing to my right (TJ, he is a physician from Texas) is being treated for MS, this is his second round of treatments.

I pray that each one of my new friends is able to have positive results from their treatments.

My love to you all,
Julie
