http://stemcellschina.com/blog/davemidway Getting Stem Cell Treatments at Hangzhou Xiaoshan Hospital Fri, 02 Nov 2007 09:49:40 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en So sorry for the huge lapse in my posting. Not only have we been very busy getting our lives back to normal, but we are at somewhat of a plateau as far as Dave's progress goes. This can't be taken as bad news - it is just that everything is ... http://stemcellschina.com/blog/davemidway/2007/10/12/thursday-october-11-2007-no-news-is-good-news/ It has been a few days since our last post. No, we have not been in a deep sleep. Actually, we both are pretty much back to normal now. Dave has gone the last 6 days without using his brace or cane. He certainly is not ready to run a ... http://stemcellschina.com/blog/davemidway/2007/09/19/wednesday-september-19-2007-back-to-normal/ It is amazing how much sleep those tiny little stem cells require. Last night Dave went to bed, just to "rest", at 6:00 and never moved again until 6:00 this morning. I had to check several times to see if he was still breathing! At least one could ... http://stemcellschina.com/blog/davemidway/2007/09/12/wednesday-september-12-2007-sleepy-little-stem-cells/ Well, yesterday we were awake for a total of seven hours. Our stamina is definitely improving! We actually went to visit our oldest son and his wife for a couple of hours. They moved into a new house while we were in China so this was our chance to ... http://stemcellschina.com/blog/davemidway/2007/09/10/september-9-2007-great-day/ Just want to let everyone know that while we were in China, NBC news did two stories on patients who had stem cell treatments at our hospital in Hangzhou. One news report was on baby Cameron who I mentioned in an earlier posting and the other was on a little ... http://stemcellschina.com/blog/davemidway/2007/09/08/friday-september-7-2007-much-needed-news-coverage/ We arrived safely back in the United States Monday evening. The flight was about 13 hours and pretty uneventful. Tuesday morning we woke up bright and early at 3:00 a.m. (this is the same time we were waking up in China). Tuesday was not a very productive day as we ... http://stemcellschina.com/blog/davemidway/2007/09/06/september-5-2007-back-home-again/ Today is a very bittersweet day for us! We are excited to return home to our family and friends, but in the process of doing so, we have to say good bye to some very special people here in China. It surprises me how such strong bonds and friendships can ... http://stemcellschina.com/blog/davemidway/2007/09/03/monday-september-3-2007-good-bye-china/ This is our last day to spend with all of our new friends at the hospital. Many of us went to brunch at the hotel again. As always, it was wonderful! It was not a pretty day, as it rained all day. This was our only day of continuous rain. ... http://stemcellschina.com/blog/davemidway/2007/09/03/sunday-september-2-2007-day-of-pampering/ This was Dave's last day of therapies - which means no more acupuncture (at least not in China)! I know Dave will pursue finding a good acupuncturist in the U.S. Martin did his final evaluation on Dave today. It was the same evaluation he did when we arrived in China. It ... http://stemcellschina.com/blog/davemidway/2007/09/02/saturday-september-1-2007-final-evaluation/ This was officially to be a day of rest for Dave and the day began that way. However, we have now completely run out of our 'provisions' that we brought from home (we had one granola bar left that we split for our breakfast and if need be, we have ... http://stemcellschina.com/blog/davemidway/2007/09/01/friday-august-31-2007-partial-day-of-rest/
