Update

I am writing to let you know we are back from taking our daughter Tasha from Tasha’s Hope For Sight Appeal to China for Stem Cell Treatment. Tasha had 8 doses of Stem Cells via IV and intense therapy everyday for 6 and a half weeks, therapy’s included of Electro wave, Acupuncture and Acupressure.
We were so excited as after Tasha’s 3rd Stem Cell Treatment, Tasha could see light from her left eye and after her 6th treatment she could see light in both her eye’s and after she had finished all 8 Stem Cell treatments Tasha was flinching her eye’s when we were moving our hands close to her eye’s and reaching out for toys we would put about 20cm from her face, The Doctors in China were very excited that the Treatment was working so fast for Tasha. Tasha also got orthopaedic boots while we were in china to help stop her ankles from rolling and to stop her right leg from turning out, Tasha feels a lot safer when she stands now and has been happy to stand for longer without support and take a few steps. Tasha can say even more words then ever before and keeps saying naughty Daddy when she did not want to be put in her chair to have her breakfast, it was so cute. Tasha was extremely happy during our time in China and was laughing most of the time.
During Tasha’s 8th Stem Cell treatment we told her it was her last treatment and Tasha got very upset and was crying, so I told her I would do my best to bring her back for more Stem Cell treatments and she got very happy again, So now I know Tasha wants me to fundraise again to take her back to China for more Stem Cell treatments. I asked the doctors in China if we should bring Tasha back and they told me that we don’t have to but it would be a good Idea, as there is some other patients from America that have been to China for Stem Cells that can now see well enough to drive a car. So now I am determent to get Tasha back to china to give her a chance to have a normal life, like everyone deserves, especially when we know Tasha responded to the treatment so very well.
We would like to Thank everyone who made it possible for Tasha to go to China as it really has changed her life, more then I expected in a very short time, I always knew the treatment would help Tasha but never did I think it would help her this fast, We are really amazed and grateful to everyone, as it’s like Tasha has been given a new life and with more treatments who knows how much more Tasha would be able see.
