Progress has been slow these last couple of months. We are looking at follow up treatments in Seattle and California were the wait times are much shorter.

Everything is still going well! Improvements are slower these days but Karen isn't going backwards which is good news. We just wanted to say thanks again for all of the kind phone calls and continued support. Merry Christmas from the Reid family!

Improvements have been slower lately. Karen hasn't accomplished any new tasks but she continues to improve in what she has been doing. Right now the family is focusing on giving Karen her independence and the confidence that she needs to continue to improve.

Karen is up to 96 steps and continues to do well. She is meeting with Dr. Knox her MS doctor in the next couple of weeks. Karen is already looking for a place to get her follow up appointment done. Seattle is the closest most accessible place so far. Again we really appreciate all of the support that everyone has given us over the last several years.

We have been back in Canada for about a month now and Karen's improvement has been incredible. She is up to about 60 steps a day now. The house isn't big enough anymore for her to walk further! Karen's short term memory is also improving slowly, she has much better recall. One last thing that we have noticed a huge improvement in is Karen's voice, she speaks much with a much stronger voice. The best news that we have is that Karen is starting to get back to her old self again. Much faster then anyone in the family expected.

Karen is walking better and further everyday! She is up to about 40 steps on a good day. The quality of her walking has also improved dramatically, she is able to lift and move her left foot better since returning from Bulgaria. Karen is also doing much better with her hands, she has much more control and is getting back into doing everyday tasks.

Hi everyone, we've got a few more updates for you! Karen is moving better even walking a few steps each day with her walker! She is also resting better now and has more energy throughout the day. And the last one for now, Karen still has warm hands and feet. We will continue to keep you updated as more progress occurs.
