Arrived at clinic about 11:00 Am. Immediately went into room for IV. Jan got amino acid IV. Dr Karam then injected stem cells into IV. About 1 hour later Jan went into Dr. Saenz's office. A brilliant plastic surgeon. He injects growth hormones and stem cells into throat, neck abdomen, and head. This was difficult on Jan, but as always, she was a trooper. Dr. Karam held her hand and I tried not to worry to much. Dr. Karam said that the hair sample he took of Jan showed that the Cadmium is not recent. Jan had been exposed years earlier than now. He is using his contacts to see if the exposure and source can be defined.
That was the end of the day. Returned to Double Tree. Spoke with Dr. Karam. He is going to set up a conference call with us, Dr. Cohn, the CDC, and his heavy metal specialists at Emory. He will advise us when that will take place, hopefully next week pending everyone's schedule.
We said a heartfelt goodbye to Dr. Karam. He was very appreciative of our thanks. I have said this before, he is a wonderful Dr. He cares deeply about Jan and our family and is doing more than what may be imaginable to help us all.
