We are HOME

We got home last night. it was a long trip and Cam had a rough day. I am hoping being home will help his progress. They warned us he may a down period for a week or so, time change, flight etc. Things should pick up in a week or so. I will continue the blog for those who want an update, just not as often. Thanks for the support.

Monday

We are on the home stretch, Hooray. We were talking this morning and discussing any improvements, we were surprised that there were many. The most obvious is no hand tremor and no facial dskynesia. His mind is back to normal most of the time. He can now add and subtract.
Today I will begin the chore and trying to cram everything into 2 suitcases.
See you all soon and thank you all for your support.

Good News

I just everything confirmed and we are coming home September 4. We could have come earlier but no seats on the plane.
Cam gets his last stems tomorrow then it is just wait and recover. Physically he seems better but we are having some mental problems. They are lowering some meds to see if it will help. We are both ready to come home. Hospital living is getting old.

FRIDAY

Not much to report. Beijing is having great weather all of the rain washed away the heat and smog. I'm sure the athletes are happy.
Cam now has a cold as I do as well. I think if we can get him well we might see some improvement but as of today, I see none. i am still hopeful and am sure things will get better.

I am bored out of my mind and SICK of the food. I my never eat Chinese food again. Tomorrow Kent and Cameron will be here so at least there may be something to do.

Tuesday

We had a tough few days, Cam has been sick some sort of a virus they tell me. He had a fever and was hallucinating. He is much better today and had his 3rd stem cell treatment. If all goes well he will have the last one in 10 days and we may be able to come home early. We are ready. Hospital life leaves a lot to be desired.

It is hard to tell if Cam has a lot of improvement as the fever really knocked him out. I think he is physically stronger and is close to walking.

I have done nothing exciting since Jennifer was here, I stayed close when he was sick. Back to Walmart today as we needed groceries. It is always an adventure.

Olympics

Jen and I had a great day at the Olympics. We had GREAT seats 21 rows from the field on the starting line. We say 100m men's qualifying 800m women's qualifying high jump doe women heptathlon. Hammer throw and shot put. The Bird's Nest is a wonderful stadium as are all the venues around it. Lots of space and beautiful grounds. We actually used the subway.
When we came home Cam had a fever and was loony. Seems better this morning and doesn't remember it. They are watching him carefully.

CULTURE

Jen and I did The Forbidden City, The temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace. Much Much walking and stair climbing; oh I Forgot to mention it was in a huge thunder,lighting and rain Storm. In some paces we were up to our ankles in water We both came home pooped. Tomorrow the Olympics
