Brooke's Journey

Day after spinal stem cells

Brooke slept well last night and I thought today was going to be fine.  It's not terrible, but we went down for Physical Therapy, and after about 10 minutes she said "nah."  And said that her back was hurting.  I brought her back to her bed, they have a heat lamp I put on her back for 30 minutes and now she is getting the electric wave therapy on her arms and legs.  (not painful).  We cancelled Occuptional Therapy for today.  After the electric wave therapy, we're going to go for a walk to the park, get some KFC and have a little picnic with Rachael and Nancy.  Just something relaxing, so as to not overdo it.  She is not scheduled for another stem cell treatment this week, but most likely another spinal on Monday.  They space them apart, and she has therapy in between.  Rachael is still doing the accupuncture in her head, Brooke watches but will NOT participate!  Can't say I blame her!

      Vicki, Accupuncture is wonderful and really not at all painful. It has really helped me. I have it done right here in E.T. Mrs. Joas
