LAST Day in Monterrey

Good afternoon. Well, it is afternoon HERE!!! Since it is 1pm. Cheryl has completed her Stem Cell Therapy with Dr Estrada (www.stemcellmexico.com) and she is walking, álmost´without pain. There is a little catch in her getalong, but other than that, she is weak, but much more comfortable. It was just an incredible 2 FULL days with the doctor. After the first treatment, within MINUTES, she was able to put pressure on her knees while standing and feel little or no discomfort.

The doctor felt he accomplished as much as he could in this treatment, so he decided to complete the process by the end of the second day, instead of going into a half day treatment on the third day, which would have been TODAY (Thursday). She did get into the van and out of it and said there was a ´little´tweak, but nothing like what is WAS! he did the last injection of the San 10 Stem Cells into her knee last night and also injected the final Ozone treatment. She will be coming home a new woman. He did tell her to take it easy for the first 30 days, but he also said to ´sell´the wheelchair, but we are going to keep it around for at least a couple of months, ´just in case´!

His instructions for her were to do NO stair climbing for the first weeek, then on the second week, do three or four steps twice a day. Then a couple of days later, increase it to five or six, and so on. Nice and easy until the ´growth´is mostly complete, which will actually happen within the next 2 - 4 months. The cells will continue to grow after that, but the ´majority´of the growth will occur within this time span.

We love you all and will be home soon.

Tom and Cheryl
