3rd post… sorry for the delay in writing… life does take over sometimes.
On Jan. 7th 2010, We as a family will be heading out to McCallen Texas, to cross over the border to get Live umbilical Stem cell Treatments. The name of the Doctor is Dr . Omar Gonzalez. We have spent a lot of time and money trying to get Jason back on his feet, and Jason himself has researched all the sites regarding Stem cell treatments. It seems that there a lot of unprofessional Doctors out there who are willing to put only a little bit of effort in developing Stem cells treatments. Some are in it just for the money, and it shows in there actions and hasty answer to questions. Their responses are vague and they keep pushing money and false hope. With Dr. Omar Gonzalez, we didn’t get that feeling. He has a very good and informed staff that answered all our questions. compared to the 2-3 million stem cells we almost bought, we are now looking at possibly of more that a BILLION stem cells surgically implanted to offer the best results for Jason. The price? well you do the math… 2-3 million stem cells for $6,000.00 or More than a Billion stem cells for around $10,000.00.
The only draw back, we have to travel close to 2000 miles via our handicapped equipt van. 4 days of travel , two days procedures, then 4 days back. The airlines are not able to provide assistance for flying for Jason. Too many unreasonable conditions. (they want him to walk to his chair on the plane) using their wheelchair and load up his own chair in the their cargo bay (very Dangerous and damaging). And that’s if everything arrives on time. Not a chance!!!
We leave on the 2nd of January, so keep your fingers crossed for us and most important… Pray that this treatment will be successful in allowing Jason to get the results that he needs.
