Wednesday morning in Monterrey

OK. OK. So I didn´t get an opportunity to write yesterday!! That is because Cheryl and I checked into the hospital and I was not able to get onto my laptop. And, the reason - you ask - I could not get a wireless reception on my laptop is because the hospital´s network had a VIRUS!!! So, Lynn, thanks for helping me last night, but it wasn´t my fault or our fault.

OK. WOW!!! What a day Tuesday was. We checked into the hospital in the morning. the doctor told Cheryl some bad news, that being her uric acid was high. The ´norm´is between 0 and 7 and hers was at 29. But, in his calming way, he smiled and said, "Don´t worry. We will take care of that!" So, with that he came in and told her that she was going to get 7 injections, including an in line dwelling for the IV. Four of the other 7 would be injections directly into her knees, two on each knee. Now. Here is the kicker!! After he gave her the first two injections on her left knee, in which the knee was elevated, or bent, he told her to lay the leg FLAT on the bed. She said, "I can´t. I haven´t been able to do that for 18 years!" He reassured her and again said, "Lay your leg on the bed." And, you know what??? She was ABLE to do it AND with NO PAIN!!! Praise the Lord!! He then proceeded to do the same thing with the right knee, which is the one she injured 18 years ago. And, AGAIN - - - she was able to lay the leg AND KNEE all the way down on the bed with the leg straight. THEN - - - - he told her to stand up! She said, "NOW???" He said, "Yes. Now!" She did and she looked at me and said, "Tom!!! I don´t have any pain!!!!" By the way. When she said this, she had a HUGE smile on her face!!!

He then told her that injection he gave her was the San 10 portion of the Stem Cell Therapy that he had told us on Sunday night It gave immediate relief because it took the inflamation away - - - immediately!!! Now, she was taking the IV with the 10 million parts of Stem Cells which would go throughout her entire body. Within a few hours, the arthritis in her hands again had color and appeared to be diminishing.

No. It was not ALL perfect. She did experience a little high blood pressure because the IV was raising her metabolism and that caused the pressure to accelerate, so, he merely gave her some oxygen and cut off the IV for about an hour. Other than that, everything was pretty smooth.

We are now at Wednesday morning and he said that he was going to work on her ALL day today and that she would be done by late this afternoon or early this evening. So, we are looking at getting a flight out of her tomorrow instead of Friday. We also informed him that we had a wheelchair waiting at home for Cheryl. He told us to SELL IT!! He said that she WILL need to take it easy for several weeks, but that he does want her to walk, every day, at least 15 - 30 minutes twice a day with no stress, just casual walking.

Like I said earlier - - - WOW!!! You had to be here to experience it. I have said it before and I will tell you again. Here is the web site for Dr Estrada
