One Week Update

Hard to believe I flew back from Panama one week ago! I am so happy to be home, with my loving family, and sleeping in my own bed. I love the USA!

Here is a quick update:

Before stem cells:

I needed assistance getting in and out of the bath
Used my wheelchair full-time
Chronic fatigue, no energy
Had to be carried upstairs
Could not roll over or bend legs in bed without assistance

Post stem cells:

Can get in and out of bath on my own
Use walker in the house 80% of the time
Full energy, no need for naps
TONIGHT I walked up 10 stairs unassisted!
Can roll over and bend legs easily and freely

I am amazed at the progress I have made in such a short amount of time. I love my new stem cells! Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers.

Love,
Julie
