Something extraordinary is happening in Ella’s brain. Since her stem cells 3 weeks ago, we’ve started to see change showing up in the most beautiful ways. She’s vocalizing more, articulating new sounds and louder than ever before. Her motor planning has also taken a leap forward! She’s steering her little ride-on car around the house, climbing higher and faster, and signing more than ever. Her spasticity is decreasing, especially in her arms, and for the first time, she’s able to fully extend both sides. Every day, we are seeing new glimmers and she’s showing us more of herself.

And thanks to deeper, more restful sleep, we’re getting to experience an even sillier, sassier, more ornery version of the girl we already knew was full of personality. The spark in her is growing stronger, and it feels like we’re catching a glimpse of what’s possible.

But stem cells aren’t magic on their own. As Dr P says, stem cells are like bricks, they’re  full of potential and capable of becoming incredible things, but they need to be guided. That’s where we come in.

💕We are giving this everything we’ve got💕

Ella’s daily healing program includes:

*DMI Home Exercise Program

* Vibration therapy

* OT stretches and strengthening

* NMES for speech and swallowing 3x/day

* Cognitive work focused on letters, numbers, categorizing, and sorting

* A home-blended, anti-inflammatory diet

* Custom supplements tailored to support her brain, body & immune system 

* Daily hyaluronidase to reduce barriers in the brain and support cellular delivery

This isn’t a passive process — it’s intentional, intense and filled with love. We’re showing up every single day, believing in the science, trusting the process, and most of all, believing in Ella.

She’s doing the work. We’re doing the work. And we know something beautiful is unfolding. 💚
