A Child Has Suffered From Cerebral Palsy for 5years and Many Treatments Are Ineffective.

“Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky…”

The first time I saw little Kevin Matthew, the rhyme of Little Star came naturally to my mind. He had just undergone stem cell treatment. When he stared at me with his black-onyx like eyes, he seemed an angel. His eyes are as bright as those of other kids. However, he was a cerebral palsy child.

Little Kevin was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when he was only six-month-old. Being a five-year-old boy, he still can’t speak. Hospital diagnosis indicated that the boy has suffered from cerebral palsy with delayed mental development and involuntary limb exercise for five years. The crooked toes of both legs make him unable to stand and walk independently.

In the past five years, the boy failed to enjoy a colorful childhood like other kids. He even often couldn’t stand, which pained his family members. During that period, the family has been searching for effective treatments for the boy, but results turn out to be disappointed. It is quite difficult to cure a cerebral palsy kid.

Stem Cell Therapy for Cerebral Palsy Has Given Initial Results.

“Big ball, come here. Well, it doesn’t move and let’s catch it.” The second time we went to see little Kevin, he was playing with his father happily. The boy stared at the green ball not far away with a bright smile on his face. We took this time to chat with his father.

“Are things any better?”

“Yes, much better. Limb activities are much flexible than before. The coughing has stopped. My son now has a better appetite.”

“Are you often playing with him?”

“Yeah. He is happy with that. The doctor advised him to have more exercise, which is conducive to his recovery.”

“Do you feel tired? Have you ever thought of giving up?”

“No. I believe no father will give up his child, and I will never give up.” We felt the great love of a father from the man’s determined expression and were deeply moved. All parents love their children; they are willing to pay everything for their children. To cure little Kevin’s disease, the young couple traveled far away to China. They have a firm belief that their son will enjoy a healthy and happy life again, just like other normal kids.

“I’m confident in the current treatment, because the stem cell treatment has given therapeutic effect. I will keep it to the end, until my son could live a normal life. We will never give up, and neither will my son.”

I recognized the father’s firm determination and strong sense of responsibility from his words.

We Are Confident in Stem Cell Therapy for Cerebral Palsy

This is the first time little Kevin come to Guangzhou Modern Hospital (Stem Cell Research & Treatment Center). The MDT composed of neurologists and pediatricians held a detailed consultation and worked out an elaborate treatment plan for him. His father told us that their two relatives were also receiving treatment here and their conditions have been improved greatly, which make him more confident in the stem cell therapy for little Kevin.

Little Kevin had been much better by the time of discharge and his father’s words kept echoing in my mind: “We will never give up, and neither will my son.”
