Hope for Emmy: stem-cell therapy in China
That is wh
at brings us to now, and our special prayer for Emmy. She is now 6 months old, and we have people everywhere praying for Emmy to be healed of her ONH.
We believe our prayer is being answered, and we now have hope for Emmy. God has blessed us with new information from Emmy’s therapist that she is able to see something, even if it’s dark images, she is believed to be in the better 50% of the babies with ONH!
We are seeing miracles take place before our very eyes!! And now, we believe we are being lead to a procedure that is having amazing results in helping ONH babies improve, many to the point of sight!!!
Researched and offered by Beike Biotechnology in China for about 4 years now, the surgery involves stem cell transplants. Being pro-life people, our first question was “Where are the stem cells taken from?” They are not from aborted babies, but from the umbilical cords of live, healthy births taken exclusively from an umbilical cord bank.
As can be read in Louisa Lim's NPR article, Stem-Cell Therapy in China Draws Foreign Patients:
So far, 10 patients suffering from ONH have received the same stem-cell treatment in China, and doctors there claim that the vision of all 10 improved after the therapy.
We have even communicated with others that have already had this procedure done with miraculous results! One of our new friends took her 9 month old son who could only see bright lights and now can spot his little blue train from across the room!! They give all the glory to the Lord!!
Good luck to you. My grandson will be going to QINGDAO, CHINA on September 4 to get his Stem Cell Therapy. They are doing great things over there and giving us all hope with kids with ONH/SOD. We will be keeping up with your progress.
