Today was a therapy day and we were so excited that Trish woke up after her second injection headache free. She had therapy from 12:00 to 2:00. There is an “American” mall very close to the hospital so we had the driver drop us off there so we could walk around for a few hours. They have several of the same stores that we have in the U.S. and most of the same brands. The only difference is that everything cost nearly twice as much so we really didn’t buy anything other than a couple of souvenirs. One difference is that they have a grocery store in the mall, so we did pick up a few more things for “home”.
After the mall we headed home. The place we are staying is great. There are several other people here that are in various stages of their stem cell treatments. It is really a little community and we enjoy the interaction with the other families going through the treatment. Most of the people being treated are here for M.S. and their stories of improvement are great. There is also a child here that has autism and we are hearing that they have been very successful in treating this. Bye for now.

We are all pulling for you. Thanks for all the informative updates, Scott. love Aunt Joy
Thanks for the update, Scott. Give Trish a big hug from me. Have you been able to talk to the boys at all? I'm sure that's been hard to be away from them so long. Do you have an address there that I could write to? You're both in my prayers...Kelly
Trish and Scott I am sending positive thoughts and energy your way. It is amazing that this treatment is taking place but sad that it can't be in our own country. I am amazed at all your hard work and wow how great to find out that you can use your muscles to some extent. I hope this gives you and them some added hope that this will help. I am praying and thinking about you. Can't wait to see you back at Brisas. :) Kathy H.
