Exciting changes!!

Hey guys! So we are about 4 weeks post stem cell treatment. We have already seen some AMAZING changes! As I have posted before, he is definitely using his left hand more. Yesterday during physical therapy, he was even using his left hand to prop sit!!! Before, if we had him sitting and he started falling, he didn't have the protective reflex to catch himself. He now does this consistently! His physical therapist has said that she can tell a huge difference! We give all the Glory to God and are so thankful to everyone for helping us give Zane this chance!! We are considering taking him to Germany again next year to see what kind of additional awesome results we can get! I have been very pleased with what we have seen so far!

Last Friday he got Botox for the 2nd time. They give Botox to kids with cerebral palsy to help relax muscles and block nerve impulses going to those muscles. (This in turn drastically reduces the spasticity) The only bad thing about the Botox is that it wears off anywhere between 3 and 6 months, so it's a procedure that has to be continually repeated. He received 250 units of Botox in his legs. The last time he got Botox, he received 150 units so hopefully we will really start to see some awesome results! The neurologist has agreed to do it again in 3 months if it has wore off. She is excited to see what happens with the stem cell treatment also.

I am going to try to update as often as I can. I will update as we see new changes! Thanks everyone for all of your prayers and support and for helping us make "A Way For Zane!" :)
