Update on Ted

[TedH5]

This is Michelle, Ted's wife. I just wanted to update everyone on Ted's stem-cell surgery at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta that took place on Wednesday. They took him back to prep him for surgery around 8 am and started surgery at 9:30 am. Surgery was done around 2 pm and then he was in recovery until about 7 pm. Last night we had lots of visitors....every hour someone was in to poke at him! He is recovering well...some pain at the sight of the incision but he is good spirits and joking with the nurses. Thank you for all your love, support and prayers.

It is so wonderful to hear first hand that Ted is doing well. My prayers are with him, please tell him he has a Sister who is lifting him in prayer to the Great Physician! My greatest hopes for Ted is that this will greatly reduce the progression of symptoms, giving him the highest quality of life for longest possible time. He is such a blessing to all of us here on the forum.

Ted, you are a hero. Thank you so much for doing this study, in the hope that future ALS patients might be helped. Let's hope it works....goes quickly through to phase 3 and then makes a huge impact in the treatment of this awful disease.
