Email from patient already in Shenyang,China

Less than a week and I'll be in China!!! This is a part of an email from a patient already in China that is going to have my room set up for me when I arrive.
Update soon,

You will be the only foreign walking quad I have seen or heard about ever being at this hospital. That being said, I think there have been several Chinese that have mostly recovered over a number of years and came here to finish the recovery process as stem cell treatment has only been available at this hospital since September of last year. Each patient has a personal doctor assigned upon arrival. I would put in a formal request now for Dr. Dong as your personal doctor. He has been Rita's doctor since we arrived and we believe he is the best here.

Based on what we have seen and obviously we believe will happen, I think you have a very good chance of seeing significant improvement over the next 4 to 6 months. You will see some before you leave. With stem cell treatments, improvements appear to happen much faster. Not overnight cures, but accelerated improvements. This is my personal opinion.
