So it has been a few weeks since Casey had her stem cell injection. They say over the first month or so the changes that we will see will be due to a growth hormone that her body is triggered to produce while the stem cells are getting into her system. Then after 3-6 months …
Back in U.S.
We are back in our hotel room in San Diego and relaxing after a long day – here’s a play by play of our trip to Mexico: Someone from the US research institute picked us up around noon at the hotel. He had a nice minivan so transferring the car seat was very quick and …

Oh wow, it has been nearly a month since our last post. Let’s see, where did we leave off? Tim mentioned that we are looking into stem cell injections for Casey. We are finalizing all of those details now. It looks like we will head to San Diego after Tim gets off work and traffic …

0.5 years old

The doctor’s say that most people who see improvements don’t see anything for the first couple weeks. So far we haven’t seen any changes, but Casey is tolerating the treatments well …
