More Stem Cells

Things are still going good and I'm continuing to work hard with my physical therapy. I just wanted to let everyone know that I have decided to go back to get more stem cells. A few of the spinal cord injury people I made aware about the stem cell treatments in Costa Rica have gone down there but are now wanting to go back. So I decided I should call the Dr.’s down there and see what they thought. The Dr.’s told me that many of their Spinal cord injury patients that have gone back for a “booster” as they call it are having good results and have been gaining even more. There are no guarantees but they are very hopeful for me because I had such good success the first time. So after more research we decided to go again. This time I will only be going for two weeks instead of the four weeks I did last time.
We will be gone in early September. Their facilities used to be in both Costa Rica and Panama. They decided to consolidate both facilities to the one in Panama. So that is where I am going this time. We will try to keep up on my blog while we are down there again. I get to work out with their physical therapists again 4-5 days a week. I will also be getting 5 injections and 3 IV’s. This is half of what I got last time but they are hoping I will see good results from it because others have. So keep us in your prayers as we go on this next adventure. It’s great to have “Hope” for continued healing.
