London Preschool
Happy Holidays;
As we come to the end of another year London continues to show signs of improvement. We are still sure she is seeing light and her ability to learn continues to improve. She is speaking in small sentences now, feeding herself, and walking much better. She has passed her goals set up with the preschool staff so she will enter kindergarten in September of 2012. She has walked unassisted once but still needs a hand or walker right now. She is a really happy child and fills our lives with joy we are so blessed to have her in our family.
November 2011 we took her to California to see her Great Grandmas, Grandpa and other family members. While we were there we went to see another set of Doctors regarding the possibility of more stem cell treatments. We found out they can take the fat from her bottom separate the fat from stem cells and put her healthy stem cells back into her own body. The good thing about this is that they can grow more stem cells and at any point we can take her back for more treatments. The stem cells reproduce about every 16 days so they would be able to have millions of stem cells on hand at any time by freezing them and saving them for more treatments. Right now it is not FDA approved in the US so we would need to take her to a hospital in Mexico if we decide to do this treatment. They have already been doing procedures for heart patients and other illnesses but this would be the first eye patient they have worked on. We are exploring our options and will let you know if we decide to try this new procedure. We are also exploring our option to return to China the cost is actually much less if we decide to try using her own stem cells in the US/Mexico but we won’t rule out another trip to China.
That is pretty much it for now and we will continue to update you from time to time so please check on her status and again THANK YOU for your continued support and love. We can never thank you enough for all you have done for London. Many Blessings to everyone for a Happy Holiday season.
God Bless;
London and Family
