Ursula started seeing a noticeable change after the second stem cell injection when her restlessness stopped and she could sit still. During the following weeks, she improved steadily and gradually all of her symptoms were reduced significantly.

After the treatment, Ursula could get in and out of bed without aid and could turn in bed without difficulty. "At home," she explained, "I used to have to use a rope to get up."

Ursula remains slightly slow in some of her movements but she is now able to comb and wash her hair, she can dress herself and puts on her own shoes - and takes them off. Before, those tasks were impossible for her as she could not lift her right arm or her right leg. She prepares her own food and can open bottles and jars. She can walk and while walking her back is straight and her posture is normal. "Before the treatment, I was walking like a robot, needing to concentrate on every move" she says, "now walking feels normal again."

Ursula was able to keep busy the days before she left China; she went shopping for clothes and visited restaurants. She showed us how she was able to put on and take off her jacket by herself and that she now can cut fruit and prepares sandwiches, something she was not able to do before.

Ursula's general mood has also significantly improved. Her facial expressions are more natural and her speech is fluent and unaffected.

After her treatment, Ursula felt that the improvements she has made will make a tremendous change in her daily life. Just before she left we asked her if she had spoken to her daughter and she said, "Yes, I told her she can have her old mum back."
