choosen. It is sad she is so much fun and has so much
to give to so many. Keep in mind I have had her in my

time she walked out by herself, in just a few weeks.
However, this time she was very near death none of us
ever dreamed she would improve so quickly. We just
knew this would be the turning point and she would run
the race to the finish as we gave her so much of our
lives.
How is she doing now? She can still talk with us on
the phone, she walks with help but she has a caregiver
that takes care of her. I wish the end was a happier
one but what can I say. I just hope someone with PD
will do what we did for her, have even better results
so they can reach others that suffers from the
disease. Let me know if you have any more questions.
