The Lord likes Thursday better. We heard today that Wednesday will not work for Andrew to be admitted to Craig Hospital. They tried very hard early this morning to get a jet here to get him, but it was not successful, so it will have to be Thursday. Andrew was okay with that . . . he knows he's going and he's thankful for that. He rested a lot today, so that was good. I spent a lot of time today on the computer doing research (as I've been doing constantly) while he was resting; there is a lot of encouraging information out there. I'm pasting a link here (I hope it works for your to view, you should just be able to click on the link below)

This man's level of injury (C-7) is just a little lower than Andrews is (C-5/C-6 area of his spine). There is a lot of information online regarding the doctor (Dr. Carlos Lima) who is doing this adult stem cell procedure at the Lisbon's Egaz Moniz Hospital in Portugal. Please understand this procedure is done by using regenerating cells that we all have in our nasal area from our own bodies . . . this is not the same as embryonic stem cells derived from an unborn fetus. You know I will continue doing extensive research regarding this and other remarkable spinal cord injury medical breakthroughs that are taking place every day. We are praying for another restful day tomorrow and a safe trip for Thursday. I feel that God has lead us there and he will see us there safely. Thank you again for all of your prayers and encouraging words . . . those loving words are so helpful to us both. Andrew loves hearing them and it always warms my heart to hear that so many people are praying. Good Night and God bless. Joye
