Good News

I'm updating the blog with second hand information, but I wanted to let everyone know what today's progress was. I spoke with Missy an hour or so after Mom's first treatment and they have seen some positive signs. The little things are what caught Missy's attention and I will try to list a few:

1) Mom stopped to fix her hair in the mirror when Missy took her to the restroom after the injection. I can't remember her doing that at all this year in her visits to North Carolina or my visits to Louisiana. Actually we laughed in June because Dad had gotten a baseball hat with Joyce embroidered on the front for her to wear on the day's Dad didn't fix her hair.

2) In the pre-tests when reciting her alphabet, she could only go through about 4 or 5 letters without additional prompting. After the injection she made it from G to W with no prompting.

3) While we were talking on the phone, Missy told mom she was on the phone with me using my name - Mom responded immediately 'I like Danielle too'. I don't recall mom saying my name the entire time I was in Louisiana at Christmas no matter how hard I tried to prompt her.....It really touched me to hear that on the phone.

The doctor said some patients see continued improvements over the first 24 hours and even days following the treatment. Hopefully Missy & Triche will have good news and more detailed updates for us tomorrow on Mom's progress.
