Thanks for the information.  I've talked to her yesterday and found 
that she's got an uncle that lives within a 30 minute drive from the  
Walker Institute in California.  The testing would last for two days 
and she would visit with him either before or after.  Thank goodness 
she's just trying to find information on the subject and isn't looking 
for a miracle cure.  Also she said that the treatment would be covered 
by her insurance so cost is less of a factor.  She's said that if she 
were to go for the 9 month treatment that she and her husband and baby 
would go with her.  I'll be training her on using the DragonDictate 
speech recognition system so we'll probably get to be pretty good  
friends.
Thanks again part of her wanting treatment is to prevent muscle 
atrophy in her legs and to give her just a little more strength.  
She's approaching the whole thing with an open mind and just wants the  
facts even if their negative.
Frank.
