A 5-year-old boy who has lacked normal movement and speech since birth due to illness can finally stand up!

Jakub Chocholek, a beautiful 5-year-old boy from Poland, has faced unfortunate challenges. Although he was born at full term, his family discovered at 6 months old that he had impairments in both motor and cognitive functions. The local hospital diagnosed him with "UNC80 deficiency syndrome" and declared that there was no treatment available. Over the past 5 years, Jakub's illness has severely limited his normal activities. He has been unable to laugh, play, or speak like other children his age, has difficulty eating normally, sleeps excessively, and started experiencing nodding seizures 8-10 times a day about a year ago… Jakub's family is heartbroken.

Jakub is still so young, and his life journey is just beginning. His parents are determined to use all their love to save Jakub's life. After tirelessly searching for global hospitals and experts related to Jakub's condition, they resolutely decided to seek help at Wu Medical Center in Beijing, China.

As a professional stem cell treatment hospital with over 20 years of experience, Wu Medical Center has successfully helped countless patients and families improve their conditions that traditional medicine could not treat through its original neural stem cell and CAST therapy, earning a good reputation worldwide. Dr. Wu, a seasoned stem cell medicine expert, diligently treats each patient while continuously accumulating successful experiences with neural stem cell and CAST therapies and expanding safe and effective treatment methods for various diseases in the field of stem cell clinical treatment.

Little Jakub's illness has further inspired Dr. Wu's compassion as a seasoned medical professional. Utilizing over 40 years of medical knowledge and clinical experience, Dr. Wu crafted a personalized treatment plan for Jakub, working alongside his team to do everything possible to help this child.

After 2 weeks of hospitalization, Jakub's condition has significantly improved. His excessive sleeping for 20 hours a day has alleviated, and his spirits have noticeably increased. He has progressed from having no speech prior to treatment to producing significantly more sounds now. His nodding seizures have decreased from 8-10 times a day before treatment to a noticeable reduction. He has advanced from only being able to lie down and support himself while sitting to showing improved body control and demonstrating independent crawling movements. The time he can hold his head up has notably increased compared to before treatment. His grip strength has improved, allowing him to hold toys for longer periods. His leg muscle strength has increased from grade 2 to 3+, enabling him to stand with minimal assistance. His limb mobility has significantly improved, with a marked increase in voluntary movements. The pathological reflexes in both lower limbs have changed from positive before treatment to negative now.

If Jakub is an angel with broken wings, then Dr. Wu’s team and Jakub's family are working hard to help him return to the sky that belongs to him… Go, Jakub!

We hope to accompany more patients with brain injuries and UNC80 deficiency syndrome like Jakub to experience at Wu Medical Center the advanced and refined neural stem cell and CAST treatments, which differ from traditional medicine, improving the physical suffering caused by their ailments, enhancing their quality of life, and helping them reclaim their own sky.
