  I want to see pictures! And big ones! I wanna know what a Chinese hospital is like. Do you speak much Chinese? Does William speak much?

  I’m glad you have some friends over there. What crazy connections!

  How do they administer the stem cell therapy? Whar kind of side ffects, if any, are you expecting?

  This is hella exciting. I want to know everything!

  Hii! This is so awesome that you have your own blog…I think it’ll be so helpful for so many people out there who are interested in stem cell treatments. I can’t see the photos but that’s because I’m at work and they block a lot of stuff.

  Hope you’re doing well!!

  Hello Angela!
  My name is michael. I’m working at the beijing office of ORF – austrian national tv.

  We are preparing a short news story about stem cell therapy in china. For tuesday afternoon, 15th may, we have an appointment at puhua hospital to do some interviews with the doctors and the clinic management.

  While doing my research i have found out about your weblog through http://www.stemcellschina.com. If your condition would allow, we would like to see you while we visit the clinic on tuesday.

  The aim for our visit is to get some more information from the patient’s side about stem cell therapy in china.

  Thanks a lot – and all the best!!

  Oh my God, I feel like such a heel. It’s been awhile since I’ve taken enough time to keep up with what’s going on with you and read your blogs. When you said you were in a hospital, I had no idea what was going on!!! This is nuts! I think you’re so brave to be doing what you’re doing and I am so excited for your procedure. Have you done it yet? You must have, right? I don’t know what the time difference is from there to here and whether it’s like, tomorrow or yesterday where you are. This is amazing. Wow. It sounds like you’re in good hands and I’m so glad for this opportunity you have to try something that may improve your situation drastically. I am thinking about you and praying for you. I love you and tell William I’m thinking about him and praying for him, too – he must be worried sick. He’s such a great guy. The both of you are so brave and inspirational. Really, so get-it-done. Ack! I am praying for you. I know this is going to be great. You have such a good attitude and I honestly believe that that’s what you need to come out on top and to recover. I love you sweetie!!!!!

  Thank you Angela to relate your trials .
  Fortunatly all of things have been doing well . And You are no suffering of the injection of the stem cells .
  Now we have to wait for a moment . The action of the stem cells asks a time , of course .
  All of my encouragements and my support for you .
  Love
  Michel

  Hi, Angela, The PTS board meeting just ended, and we are checking your blog. Glad to have this way of keeping up with your progress. Tried sending comments twice and don’t know whether they got through so are trying again We know this treatment is a process of “wait and see” but it sounds very hopeful. Just know that these two friends are rooting for you from half a world away! Please say hi to Bill for us. Donna & Cliff

• 16. jane in london  |  May 29th, 2007 at 3:46 pm

  oh angela. pls keep it going. do not be discouraged in keeping up your blog. i admit it takes a while to bring the link up but i love reading the steps involved in the treatment. you are brave and you are in my prayers in a big way. when do you return? i miss you. love to william

• 17. Vince  |  June 2nd, 2007 at 11:57 pm

  good going Angela – I think you are very brave and I hope very much that you recover. I have a 15 year old relative with transverse myelitis – stem cell therapy seems to be his best chance. Have you made any significant improvements since your stem cell treatments?
  Sincerely – Vince in Connecticut

• 19. Nathalie  |  June 5th, 2007 at 8:32 pm

  You seem to be doing well but can you say whether or not you feel that the stem cell sare working and in what way?

• 20. Doreen  |  June 7th, 2007 at 3:55 am

  oh honey…I am so sorry that you have to have this done earlier than you thought, but also with William being gone. You are in my thoughts & prayers.
  I am so sorry that I have been so scarce here lately. I have just had so many things going on & haven’t been on the computer much. As you can tell, my posts have been sporadic as well!
  I am glad you explained how to leave comments on here. I wasn’t sure if I could or not. It takes forever for it to load when you push the comments button, but I just have to have patience! lol…
  I see another post below this one that I have missed, so I am going to go down there & read it now & reply to it.
  hugs, Doreen

• 21. Doreen  |  June 7th, 2007 at 4:05 am

  Poor Lily…that is a LONG train ride & I don’t know how to compare American money to RMB’s, but it sounds expensive!
  She sounds like a wonderful person. I am glad you have her there with you.
  oooh, I wish Mr. Guan could come & visit me…I really need a good message!
  OK…looking at the photo album now…those are beautiful flowers for Miss Shadow!
  The group with the flash is MUCH better! lol.. That decoration in the hall, almost looks like some torture weapon!
  I like Miss Shadow’s dress! And you know I always love to look at your food pictures!
  Thanks for sharing the pictures.
  hugs, Doreen

  I wish you a fast and complete relief of your distress.

• 23. Jean  |  June 12th, 2007 at 4:32 am

  Angela,
  So sorry to read about your headaches. It really sucks b/c you can’t read or watch tv or concentrate on anything. I really hope that your pain stops soon and that you’re back to your therapies and magazine reading.
  You didn’t mention food! Bad sign!
  Have you been visualizing the stem cell activity like I suggested?

  Keep strong,
  Jean

• 24. Michel  |  June 14th, 2007 at 11:52 pm

  Angela , I didn’ t realize you had started again and continued this blog .
  It seems to me you are in good hands with a great nurse team and a good speach therapist ;
  You are progressing in the singing . Things are improving .
  I send to you my thoughts and my friendship
  Love
  Michel

• 25. Jean Lee  |  June 19th, 2007 at 2:16 am

  Angela,
  I can’t believe that you skipped out on yoga b/c of a Big Mac meal!!!
  Of all the delicious things to eat in China, that’s what you eat!
  Enjoying reading about your progress….

  Hi Angela! I just got caught up with you here. I feel like such a bad friend. I have been gone & I didn’t have this site with me so I couldn’t check up on you when I was away. I am so happy this is your last treatment & you will get to be going home!!! I just hope you don’t have those nasty headaches like you did the last time. This doctor & some of your nurses sounds wonderful though.
  (((hugs))) to you & I will keep you in my thoughts & prayers.

• 27. Michel  |  July 3rd, 2007 at 5:55 pm

  I hope you are home in Beijing now , Angela .
  Glad all went well at the hospital
  Love
  Michel

• 28. Jean Lee  |  July 7th, 2007 at 2:47 am

  I just saw the youtube video and you sound so good! I’m so impressed with how far your speech has progressed!
  As for turning from side to side–who knew?! I hope that the last 6-hour ordeal went by like a breeze.
  Chinese food is yummy and I enjoy the pics immensely but grease does get old after awhile. How come they aren’t as fat as Americans?!
  You get better!

• 29. Jean Lee  |  September 18th, 2007 at 4:55 am

  Angela,
  Where would you have picked up the parasites? China?

• 30. angela.happydot  |  September 18th, 2007 at 6:01 am

  yes i got it from china!

• 31. Jean Lee  |  October 3rd, 2007 at 1:31 am

  from the hospital or were you eating food from the streets of Beijing? I did lots of times but so far (knock wood) I haven’t come up with anything unexpected and uninvited. Chinese street food is so yummy but you do have to be careful….

• 32. Sean  |  November 13th, 2007 at 6:01 pm

  Good post
  Enjoyed reading.
  By the way am a speech therapist

  i tryed this and no longer have arthritis. it puts nutrition in my Stem Cells to work and adds 3 million more stem cells in the marrow of the bone. this lasts for 4 to 6 hours. look at http://www.strongerhealth.stemtechbiz.com and go to FAQ.
  i hope it helps you as much as it has me. God Bless

• 34. Gary  |  December 19th, 2007 at 6:37 am

  Angela,

  You’re really brave to do all this. Good luck. My son Aaron has a pretty bad brain stem injury. He’s minimally conscious but gradually emerging more and more. I’d like to find out more. How are you doing now?
