In Sepetember, 2010, we will be taking our son, Zane, to Germany for an autologus stem cell treatment. We are very excited to see how this will help improve the symptoms he has from cerebral palsy, spastic quadriplega! More information regarding the treatment and ways to donate to our fund can be found on his website at www.awayforzane.com!

Bone Marrow Extraction

Today we had the bone marrow extraction. Everything went really well and Zane did awesome with getting his IV put in. The Dr. told us that if they get enough stem cells, they will put some in through the lumbar puncture, and some in through the IV. Zane did so well through all of this! We won't know until Thursday how many cells were extracted. We have to be back at the center at 10:45 am (3:45 am back home) to have the lumbar puncture done. Please keep praying for minimal side effects from these procedures. Keep praying that they extracted MILLIONS of cells and that we will see great results quickly! We have met a few families from the US. Everyone has been exceptionally nice since we have been over here. Zane hasn't had anything to eat today so we are getting ready to head to McDonald's. We will post more as we know more. Thanks so much for the love and support you all of shown our family!
