Ari had placed an epidurlal catheter today as the route of transporting stem cells directly into his spine over a three day period, during which he would remain in bed. This is the biggest of all the procedures. At the first “top off” after the catheter insertion, it was found that he had a clot and the line had to be removed, followed by six hours of obseration in bed. Restless but feeling well. It will be rescheduled.
A patient that Ari met on his first trip is there again with him! a Wonderful “Coincident”~He is there for a spinal cord injury, having had no movement or sensation in his spine and lower body for over ten years following a sporting accident. Yesterday he reported that the first trip he had gained sensation from T11/12 to L1/2 and could feel the needle. This time he had full sensation at L3/4 !
Witnessing such miracles.
