Day #5: John "The Husband" Update

First off… apologies for the delay in updates. It’s been a pretty celebratory last couple of days!

Day #5 at the clinic consisted of a Vitamin C I.V. drip to start off the day followed by a B-12 injection. That’s it. The remainder of the day was spent going over the continuing protocol that we will have to keep in place over the next 2 months.


To say that there has been much rejoicing is an understatement. Dawn is able to do things already that were unheard of just a week ago. She is able to type competently. She can navigate the buttons on her phone… which has been a MAJOR hassle in the last few months.

Tonight (the evening of Day #6) we went out to eat as a family. Now see if you can follow me on this:

We are on the 3rd floor of a major hotel. Dawn made it from our hotel room all the way TO THE CAR, plus all the distance required to get in and out of the restaurant… then back to the hotel room WITHOUT HER SCOOTER! She simply used a cane and my arm for support.

Those of you who know Dawn know what a MAJOR accomplishment this is! This is only the beginning folks!

Tomorrow morning we get on a plane and fly to Fort Collins, CO for a week of recovery and some dear time with the family. The best is yet to come. I have included a picture of Dawn and Dr. Andrade in this post. This is a man whose work is a godsend to those who have been told they have no options. Going forward… it’s my pledge to get this man’s work on the radar of as many people as will listen!
