So we have 3 injections left.  Wednesday Brooke will get another spinal and that's all that's scheduled for the week.  The final week, then she will receive, I'm thinking, one more spinal and then an IV injection Friday.   NBC fellas want to video the IV.  It's no great shakes though, quite boring actually, but it is neat to see the stem cells in the bag.   Monday and Tuesday will be physical training days and electric stim and standing.  She's been doing better with the stander and electric stim.  Wednesday, other than stem cells is both ours and Rachel's free day so we all plan to go shopping together.   We have been to the Traditional Street as they call it and want to go back.  I hope the girls do okay, they cannot eat 6 hours prior to stem cells and 6 hours after so it's quite a challenge for Brooke.  Maybe this time she will sleep following.  The Chinese are crazy about fireworks.  Every morning, daytime, night, you name it, they're shooting them off.   Guess it helps ward off the evil spirits.  ???
I did my good Samaritan act yesterday.   Elderly Chinese man trying like heck to pedal his 3 wheel bike with a full load of several bags of rice on the back.   So out I go, and push him from behind, Brooke laughed so hard, as did most everyone else who witnessed it.  Can't lose our humor over here or we'll go crazzzzzyyyy!!!!!!!!  Hello to all of Brooke and Brady's school friends and teachers who care so much and thanks for the updates on school happenings.  Cindy just did puzzles with Brooke and now she's putting her in the tub.  Brooke sure loves her Aunt Cindy and is giggling up a storm right now.   Will update after treatments.

      Hello all. Great to keep up with what's going on. Talked to Peter a bit at the party, but I think China was the last thing he wanted to talk about, too busy just getting reacquainted, etc. Party was fun.. Brother Robert sang Bob Seger, but I missed it cuz Mike had to work Sunday and we left about 10:15 p.m. Denise did a great job on the new Carrie Underwood song and Kelsey belted a couple as did Bailey. Sunday was quiet, did laundry, etc. But went for a walk first thing cuz it was so nice out got lots of thinking done. Get this... ordered out dinner from Chopstix, LOL. Having Peter back home now makes it seem like you'll be here in no time. Can't wait.. Love Shar

      Hi Brooke,
      Just wanted to let you know we are still thinking of you. I was happy to read about how brave you are watching the needles go into your hand!!! It is beginning to feel like spring the snow is gone and it's getting warmer. The kids at school like going outside at recess. Mrs. P is helping kids at Doubek School until you return, I see her everyday. Well just wanted to check in on you, I am so happy that your feeling well and all your therapies are really helping you! You'll be so strong when you return.
      Heres another joke for you.
      What can you find in the
      Great Wall of China that the Chinese never put there???
      CRACKS
      Mrs. S

      Hi Vicki! What is it with you and 3 wheeled bikes? Last time you saw one for hire, you took off on it. Maybe we'll have to get you one when you get back. You could haul my 50lb bags of rice home from Sam's Club. Thanks for a good laugh. Love to all, Denise
