{Alanna} Stem Cell Therapy for Septo-Optic Dysplasia | Stem Cell Treatment Testimonial

Septo-optic dysplasia: follow Alanna's journey, diagnosed as a baby and now undergoing stem cell therapy in Thailand. In this emotional testimonial, Wanessa and Telmo share the challenges of receiving an unexpected childhood diagnosis, a rare condition that affects vision from the first months of life. They recall how the pregnancy was calm and uneventful, but how everything changed shortly after little Alanna was born, leading to hospitalization, tests like an MRI, and a long road to a definitive diagnosis that took real resilience to get through. The family, from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, found in stem cell therapy at Beike Biotechnology in Thailand a real possibility to support Alanna's visual development. In this video, they walk through the entire journey: from the diagnosis, to mobilizing their community to fund the trip, to arriving at the hospital, going through stem cell infusions, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, acupuncture, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), occupational therapy, and the first signs of progress in visual stimulation. This video is a space for support and understanding for anyone trying to process difficult news about their child's health, and for families researching septo-optic dysplasia, childhood visual impairment, pediatric blindness, stem cell treatment for children, or stem cell clinics abroad. Alanna's story is a real account of parents who had to find strength in the middle of uncertainty, turning fear into a path of care, faith, and resilience.
