Third year Day 32 - Tuesday January 14, 2014

Today Bridgett said, this wreck has made me so happy to be alive!  Wow!  What a great attitude!  She does help almost everyone who knows her get a better perspective on their lives I think.  I do think back over the past two years, and I believe that she has touched many people's lives for good.  That's a great thing for our whole family to see as well, thinking that good has come from this experience.  Not that we wish that it would have happened, or that we are happy with the pain and struggles that she/we go through.  But, to have positive things happen lightens that load considerably.  We had more good appointments today.  Faith is able to get a lot of brain work done for Bridgett this trip.  Also, Stephany is getting a lot of help.  We are testing for something new we haven't tried before....Gemmo Therapy.  It actually is a great concept and something that I was told about and asked Faith about.  She said that the Gemmo's have to be ordered in all of the time and that puts people off about them.  However, she's trained in them and does think they are very beneficial.  I don't mind the ordering thing....that's how we get most of our supplements.  I rarely go to the store to buy any of them because they are so much cheaper online.  This is a rough description of the Gemmo therapy....
Gemmotherapy is a form of herbal medicine that uses remedies made principally from the embryonic tissue of various trees and shrubs (the buds and emerging shoots), but also from the reproductive parts (the seeds and catkins) and from newly grown tissue (the rootlets and the cortex of rootlets). In two instances, remedies are also made from the sap.
This raw material is taken in the Spring (in the case of the seeds, in the Autumn), at the peak time of the tree or shrub’s annual germination, in order to capture the various nutrients, vitamins, plant hormones and enzymes that are released during this process, and which in some cases are only present in the plant at this time.

I did call and talk to Big Sky Compounding Pharmacy about the use of Gemmo Therapy.  They sell a few of the more common remedies there.  Overall, I think they are a promising therapy for both of the girls.  Time will tell!
