The hospital is pretty quiet today, not much happens on Sundays.  Tomorrow Brooke will receive another spinal injection of stem cells.  Friday night Rachael's family and us took the interpreters and physical therapists out to dinner.  We ended up going to a Western restaurant.  They ordered steak and didn't know how to use their knife.   Jon from StemCellsChina came also and he has lived in China for 5 years so speaks Chinese quite well.  He is from Minnesota originally.  He had planned to treat the families and doctors to dinner, so Saturday night we went out again.  This time Chinese, but it was good.  We had our own diningroom at a nice hotel with a huge round glass top table which rotated.  The servers would just keep putting food out on the turning tabletop, there was quite a selection.  The only thing with eyes was the shrimp.  Today the weather was nice, about 70.  People still bundle upn like it's dead of winter.  It's supposed to be 83 this week.  Friday is her last injection, it will be IV.  NBC returns back on Thursday.  Hopefully this last week goes quickly, we're ready to come home!!

      It is so exciting to hear Brooke is doing so well!! Last night Tony & I took Brady to the Professional Bull Riding, he was all decked out in his Wranglers, plaid shirt & cowboy hat! I took pictures on my camera phone, now if i could just figure out how to transfer them to the internet I would be doing good, it should work, but i guess i don't know what i am doing Maybe Craig knows how to figure that one out?? I have the Razr V3... Brady had a blast, we would Hi-five if the rider rode 8 seconds, he was even standing on his seat doing bull(devil) horns with his hands & dancing to the rockin' music!! TOO FUNNY, He had us Laughing Just think you are on the count down to coming home!! Take care, Kelsey
