2.41pm (CET) Thursday afternoon. Jaana her separated stem cells reinserted into her spinal fluid yesterday. They found a bit less stem cells than hoped for, just 1,840,000 but they were of good quality. The neurosurgeon said though that the quality was more important than the quantity. Anyway, we will have to wait for between 4-6 weeks for signs of result. One can also repeat the treatment in the future as needed. Jaana felt no pain at all during the short 5 minute procedure. She is now resting in our hotel room in Dusseldorf, and tomorrow morning we fly back home to Barbados. Camille has been with us for the whole trip and Jaanas mother will join us on the trip back. Jaana has been in a great mood during the trip even though she is a bit tired now.
Kids and I will leave Barbados already after six days to go skiing. We will be joined for four days of my BFF Luca and my godson Philip in Laax/Flims. We are all very excited about the trip and some long awaited skiing.
