Matthew got the Mesenchymal stem cells for the first time

Posted Dec 06 2008 8:40am
We are so excited he did because it is turning out to be an amazing stem cell. Just look how they are recovering stroke patients in Germany where they are doing human trials.

Here in America they are using the same stem cells to help with brain repair, making new neurons and blood vessels after a stroke. The only difference is America is still in the mouse model and foreign countries are already doing human trials.

This is why we went out of the country to recover Matthew, because we will not wait on America to get around to helping our son with this same technology. Which they won't do for another 20 years most likely!!!
