EARLY IN MARCH I BLOGGED ABOUT TWO BROTHERS IN MINNESOTA WHO SUFFERED FROM A RARE SKIN DISEASE CALLED EPIDERMOLYSIS BULLOSA.  THIS AWFUL DISEASE CAUSES THE PATIENT'S SKIN TO BLISTER AND FALL OFF.  EVENTUALLY WHEN THE PATIENT GETS OLDER IT TURNS INTO A SKIN CANCER.  FROM WHAT I CAN GATHER, A COUPLE IN WALES HEARD ABOUT THE FAMILY IN MINNESOTA AND NOW IS TRYING TO RAISE MONEY FOR THEIR OWN SON WHO SUFFERS FROM THE SAME DISORDER TO GET A STEM CELL TRANSPLANT.  THIS WELSH COUPLE IS WATCHING ANXIOUSLY TO SEE IF THE STEM CELL THERAPY HELPS THE MINNESOTA BROTHERS AND HOPE IT CAN BE APPLIED TO THEIR OWN SON AS WELL.  I WISH BOTH THE FAMILY IN MINNESOTA AND THE WELSH FAMILY ALL THE BEST.  WE ARE CHEERING FOR YOU HERE.

Dad Peter Davey, 33, of Swn yr Arfon, Llangefni, said: “We are hoping and we are praying.

“We are desperate for news about how successful this has proved because if it has gone well then this could help Tie as well.

“It is hard waiting for news like this but there is nothing else we can do but wait and hope.

The future looks brighter for Rebecca Grisham of Jackson, her son and daughter after treatment in early February at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville for acute myelogenous leukemia.

After stem-cell therapy through a match with her sister, Grisham has made progress and is residing at a Village at Vanderbilt apartment, courtesy of the Stem Cell Foundation.

"She would say the Lord is blessing her daily," Vaughn said. "She's feeling good and able to get out some but has to be cautious" because of her weakened immune system.

IF ANY OF YOU ARE IN FLORIDA, YOU MAY WISH TO SEE THIS TALK-

"Medical Awareness in the Park" will feature the success stories of families, including that of Cameron Petersen, who have improved sight as a result of umbilical cord stem-cells. The event will take place 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday (MARCH 27) at Gilchrist Park in Punta Gorda.

Cameron, a toddler who was legally blind, has made significant progress since undergoing a stem-cell infusion in China last year. Carol Petersen of Port Charlotte, Cameron's grandmother, is a champion of the procedure.

"We will be discussing the umbilical stem-cell treatment my grandson and several other children had in China," Peterson said. "This treatment has given sight to all these children who were legally blind and/or totally blind.

Doctors from the University of Florida, along with Dr. David Klein of Port Charlotte, will be speaking on the medical test results recently done on three of these children at UF. The public is invited. For more information, go to www.cameronsmiracleofsight.com.

IF YOU GO TO CAMERON'S WEBSITE, YOU WILL SEE HIS SUCCESS IS OWED TO THOSE STEM CELL FOLKS IN CHINA AGAIN.  KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK CHINA.  DON'T WORRY, THE UNITED STATES IS STILL AGES BEHIND YOU IN REGARDS TO STEM CELL THERAPY.

I HATE TO BE REPETITIVE, BUT HERE IS YET ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL STEM CELL THERAPY STORY COMING OUT OF CHINA.  AN AMERICAN FAMILY FROM MISSOURI WENT TO CHINA TO RECEIVE ADULT STEM CELLS FOR THEIR DAUGHTER WHO SUFFERS FROM SEPTO-OPTIC DYSPLASIA WHICH MEANS HER EYES DON'T HAVE ENOUGH NERVE FIBERS THAT THE BRAIN NEEDS TO RECEIVE VISUAL CUES FROM THE EYES.  WOULD THE STEM CELLS HELP WITH THIS CONDITION?  LET'S FIND OUT!

KEY PARAGRAPHS FROM THE ARTICLE AFTER RETURNING FROM CHINA FOR  HER STEM CELL TREATMENT-

But Juli said she is already noticing changes in Lydia's vision. "After her second treatment, we started to notice a change," Juli said.

Before the treatments Lydia was able to sense a flashlight 6 to 12 inches in front of her eyes. After treatments she noticed it 6 feet away, Juli said, and she's become less sensitive to light. After a Monday visit to her ophthalmologist, Barlett said Rylea's prescription has increased to somewhere between 20/800 and 20/600, an improvement from being completely blind. "If that's what hers is," Barlett said of the 20/600 prescription, "the way we see something at 600 feet is how she sees it at 20 feet."
