YET ANOTHER BLIND CHILD GOES TO CHINA FOR STEM CELL TREATMENT, AND YET ANOTHER CHILD COMES BACK TO THE UNITED STATES ABLE TO SEE. FOR REGULAR READERS OF THIS BLOG, THIS IS A COMMON STORY, BUT A STORY I LOVE TO BLOG ABOUT. I HOPE TO SEE THE DAY WHEN I WON'T HAVE TO BLOG ABOUT IT, A DAY WHEN ADULT STEM CELL TREATMENT WILL BE AS COMMON AS HAVING AN ANGIOPLASTY OR AS COMMON AS HAVING KNEE SURGERY SO THERE WON'T BE ANY NEED TO HAVE A NEWS ITEM ABOUT IT:
6 months ago, former Port Orange resident Abby Wolfe said she would do anything for her 18-month-old son, Elioe “Tre Burgos III. Elioe's vision was thought to be no better than 20/1200. He was blind, and diagnosed with Optic Nerve Hypoplasia (ONH). The frustrated parents soon learned there were no medical facilities in the United States that offered the treatment Elioe needed (MY GOAL BEFORE I DIE IS TO CHANGE THIS FACT- DM)Though Mr. Burgos attention was fixated on his son, he said he was amazed at the seven American families at the clinic for similar reasons. “We were all there for almost the same reasons, he said. “The staff was professional. If you needed something, they got it for everyone there. Mr. Burgos told a story of a former rugby player who had suffered from muscle atrophy. He was almost bedridden when Ms Wolfe and Mr. Burgos arrived with Elioe. “I saw this guy go from bed-ridden to walking, Mr. Burgos marveled. “Everyone on that floor made improvements. It was wonderful to share in other families successes. “When we saw these American families two of which were doctors undergoing this type of treatment, it gave us confidence, he said. Soon, results began to appear, Mr. Burgos explained. “Before we went, I just felt in my heart these treatments were going to do something, he said softly. “We got more confident as the treatments began to show improvement. When Elioe returned to the United States, his drastic improvement dumbfounded his doctors. “One said, this isn't the same kid,Ms. Wolfe recalled. “They didn't know what to say. What they marveled at was Elioe going from 20/1200 to 20/200 in less than three months, Ms. Wolfe said. “It was really amazing. He can watch the television now. He can see toys when his father hides them from him. He'll look for them. “He was a typical blind child before this, Mr. Burgos said. “ AND MORE GOOD STUFF:
For both parents, Elioe's condition and his improvement has taught them life lessons, they said. “I think it really impressed upon me that anything is possible, Mr. Burgos said. “This whole thing was an adventure emotionally, and physically exhausting, but worth it. According to Ms. Wolfe Elioe still has almost seven months more time for improvement. According to doctors, patients continue to see improvement up to nine months after treatment. Elioe is only on his third month. “Every week, he does something new, Mr. Burgos said. For Ms. Wolfe, she learned sometimes you have to try new things in order to find success. “It has amazed me, she said. “By not excepting the conventional wisdom that there was no cure, that nothing could be done for him, we were able to improve the quality of his life in just weeks, and that will be maintained for the rest of his life.
