This is Thurs morning and not much to report. For the past couple of days not much change in how Linda feels. No set back in the gains she made either. She is feeling pretty good and her spirits are high. This morning we are going back to the hospital across town for a follow up MRI. The doctors want to make sure no internal bleeding or something they missed. Amy gave Linda the go ahead to finally leave the room and try walking the halls. Yesterday the surgeon and Amy and Dr Schuul came in to exam Linda and asked her how she felt and she told them she felt that her hair was dirty and wanted to wash it. Dr's said next week.
Also yesterday Karen from the radio station that is following Linda's progress came in for another interview. She was to come in a couple of days ago but there is a big snow storm South of us and that is the big news here, so Karen reported on that. This is the worst snow in over 50 years and it has all of China tied up as far as transportation goes. The trains can't get thru, the airports are backed up, there is no travel by car or trucks, the electric lines are down and everything has come to a standstill. This is the China new year and most people go home for the holidays. So it is like when one US airport shuts down due to a storm, it backs up the whole country. What is worse is food is not being delivered and with no electric, no heat. CNN was to come in for an interview and had to cancel for the same reason.
Karen tells up there are other facilities here in Beijing that are offering stem cell treatment for spinal cord injuries. Her report will include them as well. Wether this is cutting edge medical treatments or quack medicine only time will tell.
More to come, john and linda in China
