Sunday Night - IN Monterrey

Well, we are finally here in Monterrey, Mexico. The hotel we are staying in, for the first two nights, is a Comfort Inn. We met with Dr Estrada tonight and he basically took us through the next four days, so we would have no surprises. The doctor is well spoken, and YOUNG!!! 58 years old!! Gee. That´s MY age!!! Tomorrow morning, Cheryl will go to the hospital and have blood drawn, so he will know exactly what he is dealing with. From there, he will determine the exact treatment he will be using on her. He was very positive that she will RE-generate the new cells which will help her walk - without pain - again. PLUS - - - he told her that the C34 Stem Cells which he will be both injecting into her knees and the IV, that it will also help her eyesight and the arthritis in her hands. He said to "Take a picture of you hands now, because they won´t look like this again." Because of the Ozone process he will be using on her first thing Tuesday morning, this will eliminate MOST of her pain, if not ALL of it within hours after starting. In fact, he states that she will have to be careful NOT to overdo your renewed energy and lack of pain!!! He said that after the first treatment, he will have her walking the halls of the hospital for 15 - 30 minutes twice a day. She hasn´t done that in MANY years.

All in all, this first meeting, which was more of an informational session, was very educational and a good feeling of comfort! She now is REALLY excited to get going, especially since when we got off the plane, here in Monterrey, they did not have a ramp, only the old stairs that you must use which attaches to the plane. That didn´t help any.

Cheryl got through customs OK, despite the liability she had with her - - - ME!! Weather is warm, but not too hot.

I will write more tomorrow.
