Our daughter was injured in a car accident 2 1/2 years ago. She suffered a severe brain injury. Her injury was different than Tori's, but both seem to have had similar devestating effects. Brooke had spent 3 months in a coma and then slowly regained consciousness. She initally could not move anything, could not talk or eat. She was what the doctor's called Locked In.

My parents have been checking on Tori's progress for quite some time now, and our entire family has been praying that God give you strength, peace, and healing for Tori.

We are taking Brooke to get a stem cell treatment next week. We are using a company that is based in the US and uses US doctors. She will be getting about 173 million stem cells pre programmed to become neural cells. These cells are from umbellical cord blood of full term live healthy births. She will get most of her cells straight into her cerebral spinal fluid by way of a lumbar puncture. The company we are using is called Stem Cell Biotherapy. Their website is www.stemcellbiotherapy.com . Brooke's primary doctor there is Dr. Feinerman, but are also working with Dr. Nabavi and Dr. Read.

From what I can tell this is a slightly different procedure than what Tori has recieved.?.? I just wanted you to know in case you were interested in following how Brooke does after her treatment. I don't know if I will be able to get back on, because this is a one day log in. For some reason, I keep not getting approved or something. So if you would like to get ahold of me and ask anything at all about Brooke, her injuries, her progress, and her treatment....I would be happy to hear from you. My email is CyndiJ8872@msn.com

With continued prayers,
Cyndi Jasper....... aka Brooke's mom
