Yesterday another patient came to the hospital. A 40 year old man from Brazil checked in. He is a famous race car driver there and some how he got a brain parasite. He was operated on at home and now he is half paralyzed and in a wheel chair. His doctor came here with him to make sure, what I don't know because if they could have fixed him at home he would not be here. So where ever he goes, there is a group of other guys from Brazil with him. Be interesting to see what they can do. I asked Kotan what they could do and she says they are going to try to grow new brain cells. I will be interested in that one for sure.
In two hours now they are coming for Linda. The first step is to put her head into a frame to keep it still, than do a CT on her, mix that with the MRI they did yesterday and plot where to insert the stem cells. I hope they find that spot a little easer than trying to agree on where to shave her head. There were 4 doctors, 4 nurses, and 2 administers all arguing about where to shave. I videoed the whole thing, and thought it was pretty funny.
Linda is feeling really good this morning and is pretty eager to get this done. As the day goes on I will keep everyone informed.
