hi, I am so glad I read these replys!

I am also from kansas, and my father is 51 and had a brain aneurysm christmas morning 2011. I just heard about this new shot that is supposed to reverse the effects of TBI (tramatic brain injury). I was told that this shot really works. My fiance has a family friend who in fact got the shot 2 weeks ago in california. She was unable to talk, dragged her left foot (stroke effected the left side of her body) and her left hand has been "fist like" since her accident quite some time ago. I got a call Saturday and 1 hour after the injection her hand opened up, she was able to walk, and is now able to talk! It seems way too good to be true, and I am trying my best not to get my hopes up. But i am so glad i came across your post because I called the office in California today and felt uneasy about putting down 700$ just to talk to the doctor. So i said that i would call them back. But i will definitely be making another call to them. My dad's left side is unable to move, and from the stories i have read it seems like the people who are "qualified" for this shot have at least minimal movement on that side. Im just hoping that all works out and more research come out so your wife can get this, She sure does deserve it!!

I'll let you know how the phone consultation goes with the doctor!
thank you
-Nicole
