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!

It's almost time!!

We will be picked up from our hotel in about an hour to go to the XCell Center for the lumbar puncture. We are praying for huge results! How awesome would it be if, in recovery, he said something he had never said before. Or, if he sat up by himself for the first time! These would be extreme results but nothing is too big for our God! Everytime I think about the possibilities, I tear up! I am taking our video camara to video any changes we see in him during recovery. The procedure is scheduled to start at 10:45 am which is 3:45 am back home. It should last around 30 minutes. The doctor said they may decide to infuse some stem cells through his IV as well which is what we are hoping for! I pray that when we get there, they tell us they got more cells than they expected! I have also been praying for a good recovery and no reaction to any medication they have to give him. When it is all done, we will be bringing him back to the hotel room on bedrest. I'm sure McDonald's will be on the menu for his dinner! Jeff and I want to thank each and every one of you who have been supportive through this. Whether it be money, prayers, helping out with fundraisers, etc. All the glory goes to God! So, God, today when Zane gets his procedure done, let your will be done, help to improve the symptoms of his cerebral palsy, help the cells repair his brain and give him better speech, help him sit up on his own...all of this for YOUR glory! Love you guys and will update more when we get back.
