Joyce has settled in now that we are back home. On Feb 26 I took her to Lake Charles, met with Dr Ryder and she received an injection larger than what we had been getting at the end in Los Angeles. There was no adverse reaction. In fact it seemed to me that joyce returned to the good things we experienced right after the first injection. The next day 2 of her sisters came to visit and Joyce displayed emotion that I haven't seen in at least 3 years. She wept when she met and hugged her sisters. Neither had seen her since we returned and both commented that they could definitely see an improved difference in her since the last time they saw her. needless to say I was pleased. Sometimes when you are too close your mind plays tricks on you. They saw what I had been seeing. Many things that have returned to Joyce have stayed.
After talking to Dr Ryder we agreed to try a more aggressive approach which included full doses and more frequent injections. We started today with the first of these and will moniter Joyce for any new breakthoughs as well as any indication of problems. Barring any problems we will attempt another injection on Thursday Mar 19th. I can see a more responsive Joyce this afternoon than the last few days and no bad reactions which is very good.
I hope this helps everyone who has been so supportive following this journey. We have a long way to go. PAL
