Stem Cell Treatment in China Helps Batten Disease Patient!

Are you or a loved one interested in receiving stem cell treatment? For free information, please fill out our treatment form or email me don@repairstemcells.org and just put TREATMENT in the subject box and the MEDICAL CONDITION in the message.
Almost 4 weeks ago, I blogged about little Hailey Goranflo, 5, who went to China to receive Repair (Adult) Stem Cell treatment for her Batten Disease- a fatal, inherited disorder of the nervous system.  4 weeks ago, Hailey had received 40% of her stem cell therapy and had shown some improvement in her symptoms. Now, after her full Repair Stem Cell Treatment, she has shown incredible improvement! Don't tell Hailey's mother that Repair Stem Cells are "limited"! We now have another believer in Repair Stem Cells as well as a very happy mother:

Hailey, and her mom Miranda, have just returned from a seven week trip to China for the first round of treatment and all four members of the Goranflo family - Hailey, Miranda, Neil and Carter - are happy to finally be back under one roof.

"It was much more than we ever expected," said Miranda Goranflo.

She and Hailey returned home to Shepherdsville around 2:30 a.m. Thursday after seven weeks in Beijing, China.

"Going there, we weren't expecting very much. We didn't want to get our hopes up too high and be let down," said Miranda.

And they weren't. The Goranflo's say the decision to take Hailey to China to receive stem cell treatment that isn't available in the U.S. was the best one they could have made. (I agree- DM) They say Hailey's stronger and more alert. She's more relaxed and breathes better, without an oxygen machine. But the biggest improvement they have seen is the dramatic decrease in the number of seizures she now has.

"Before we left, she was having hundreds a day, so many that you couldn't even keep count. Now she has maybe 5, sometimes on a bad day she'll have ten seizures. It is an amazing improvement," says Miranda.

She says Hailey's treatment went beyond just stem cells. She had sessions with a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, daily massages and rigorous physical therapy.

"Now, when I play with her, sing to her, read to her she tries to vocalize to me. She just has a completely different facial expression her eyes just light up and just looks like she feels so much better," Miranda says.

AHHHH- A very happy story to run into the weekend!- DM
