29 March 2007 to 4 April 2007
April 4th, 2007
Enid received her first IV Stemcells on 2 April 2007….this was rescheduled as it was initially scheduled for 4 April 2007. She has now received in total three stemcell injections (two Spinal & one IV injection). The last Spinal Stemcell Injection will be on wednesday 11 April 2007.
Since the last posting Enid has made progress to such an extend that she can now stand upright with one hand resting on the wash basin whilst brushing her teeth. She has not been able to do this for at least 3 years.
She can also stand upright from a sitting position by holding onto the walker without assistance from anyone. This is something that was not possible (for the last five years) before her treatment in China. However, she is still struggling to walk with the walker frame unassisted. With the assistance of a walker frame and another person assisting she can walk approximately ten to fifteen steps.
