October 18 - Payment Has Been Made

No Backing Out Now - here's another update from our sister, Peggy:

Payment has been made to Xcell Center. The bank suggested a wire transfer (duh - didn't even think of that). The cost is only $40.00, compared to $130 to convert American cash and make a cash payment in German currency, 3% fee to pay by Visa or Mastercard, or 5% fee to pay by American Express. Over a hundred dollar savings. YAY!! Sandy received her passport. Skeeter still thinks she will back out. I am sure she won't. Mom has been feeding some coconut paste concoction to Skeet. Looks gross and Skeet says it is gross. Caused him some intestinal distress (in my opinion) but both mom and dad think his speech is improved. I don't believe the concoction has made a difference, because I noticed his strength and outlook was improved in the last two weeks. And that was even during and after getting his flu shot. The doctor said yes to getting a flu shot and stressed that Skeet's disease does not compromise his immunity. Skeet's doctor seems excited about the treatment and wants to cooperate with Germany and be active in the recovery. Gonna go now Love peg

In case anyone is interested, here is a link to the treatment center in Germany: http://www.xcell-center.com/ . It really is fascinating and the case studies are so encouraging. Perhaps someday Skeet's testimonial will be there also.

And, now I'm off to read about this "coconut concoction". I've asked them to follow the diet regimen that Fran started for Steve prior to his treatment (you can read about his journey by following the link in yesterday's post), but what does the big sister know??!?? Especially one that lives 3,000 miles away.

Will try to keep you updated . . .
