Ryan's Journey to Better Eyesight

Ryan was able to get stem cell treatment in China in December of 2012. He didn't see changes in his vision while he was in China, but he has seen some changes since he's been home. Here are a few of the changes we've seen the past few months: He is able to sit a few feet back from the TV, and see the computer from farther away. He has also been noticing more details about things that he hasn't noticed before.

December 5th, 2012

Only the needle hurt in the hand. 
Ryan will have 8 treatments during our stay in Guangzhou. 4- IV, 2- lumbar (spinal), 2 retro bulbar (behind the eye).   IV Treatments only took about 20-30 minutes.
Smiling for the camera. Needle in the top of the hand for the IV.
They monitored Ryan during the treatment.
  
They had a large saline IV and then a small packet of stem cells they put with it.
We went on a walk during the afternoon.
Looking out at the barges on the water.
The hospital entrance. Look how tall Ryan is. He'll be 13 on December 8.
