As most of you know, I am & have been receiving Adult Stem Cell treatment in Moscow, Russia. I get injections of my own stem cells from my own blood into my spinal cord... 10,000 cells each injection. So far, I have gained most of the feeling in my thumbs, some feeling in my index fingers, pressure sensations in my middle fingers, feeling in half of my palms, and burning/ tingling sensations all through out my body. I have developed muscles in my back, my palms, and my top abdominal muscle. I can balance better and pull myself up now. I have met many people at the Clinic that have such fascinating results. I have faith in this clinic and faith that I will walk again.

The total price of the first treatment including room, meals, and airfare was $32,000+. This first trip, my mom and dad accompanied me. I received one injection. 

The total price of the second trip was a little less than $15,000. This trip, my mom and sister accompanied me. I received 2 injections; one of those being a double dose.

Our third trip, my mom and Billy came. The total price was $11,000; and I received 2 double injections.

This past trip; our fourth trip, the total price was $13,000 including air fare and an excursion to Hard Rock Cafe and the city. I received 2 double injections. We are unsure of the next trip because of financial reasons. I have a strong faith that everything will work out.

The first few days are all testing. I have therapy and massage almost immediately. In order to get my stem cells, the hematologist drew my blood from the main artery in my left thigh and filtered it into this machine which then filtered out my stem cells... right in front of me. He then harvested my own stem cells into 5 MILLION!! This will only be performed once.

My main goal is to feel and have movement in my fingers. I would like to go many times, however money is an issue. I believe God will continue to help us with that though. Before we left for Russia, we received 2 large anonymous generous donations!! Thank you to you two generous donors. You are my angels! Of course these donations will help me greatly but unfortunately we found out that I have a cyst on my spinal cord that needs removed... with surgery; which is about $40,000.  We are praying that insurance will help pay. :(

My goal for the Golf Tournament fundraiser was $5,000. We barely missed it. We still made $4,700!! Thanks to all the golfers, donators, and volunteers!

I sent in a request to my insurance for the motomed (a motorized bicycle) but it was declined. It is nearly $8,000. I plan on buying it with the money we raised. My legs need constant movement since I do not walk. This exercise equipment will help me tone my legs.
 

Thank you all for your support and God Bless! :)
