Diagnosis

Angelica suffered brain damage due to lack of oxygen and was diagnosed with PVL or Cystic Periventricular Leukomalacia.

Condition Prior to Treatment

Angelica was virtually inactive. Her mother Roxanne told us, “her arms were clinched, her legs were just there and she could do that for hours. For days that's all she did."

Angelica had very little head movement. Her eyes flickered back and forth.

Treatment in China

Angelica received 6 packets of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells via IV and lumbar puncture. She also received daily physical therapy, acupressure, and traditional Chinese massage.

Condition Following Treatment

Angelica's mother Roxanne noticed changes in Angelica immediately following treatment. She told us Angelica “never used to stand. She started standing. She's rolling over now, and she used to barely be able to lift her head off the ground."

Angelica "developed a personality" while receiving therapy in China, and began expressing likes and dislikes.

Angelica's family is already planning a return trip to China. Her mother Roxanne said “the amount of change she's gone through has given me a new life."
