Stem Cell therapy at TTPH hospital. 3rd Jan 2010- 28th Jan 2010

Hi everybody,
Its been a long time since I last blog. I was not able to blog in Beijing as blogspot.com was restricted. Since we returned on the 28th, Jan I was busy, busy and busy! Here is a brief summary of the treatment done at TTPH, Beijing.

1. Daily IV herbal infusion. This is given to strengthen his immunity and it has anti cancer properties too.
2. Daily speech and physio therapy
3. Daily accupunture, monday to Friday. A few doses of nerve growth factor was given during the first week to stimulate nerve growth.
4. IV stem cells. 3 doses was given over 3 weeks
5. Stem cells via lumbar punture.
6. Herbal soup and oral herbal capsules (to regress brain tumor)

We are home for 3 weeks now. Norman is still weak on the right side. I am worried but try to console myself as it is only 3 weeks after treatment. We need more time to allow the neurons to heal. I need to push Norman harder on the physio part. He gets so frustrated when he could not use his right hand. Our next MRI is due next week on the 25th Feb. I dread all these scans because I dread bad news! I pray for inner strength from God to see me thru this hurdle again. Please pray for us.
